National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has granted its approval for the extension of validity of the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) and Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET) Certificate to lifetime. Earlier, the Certificate of TET or CTET exam was valid up to 7 years.
The decision in this regard was taken during the 50th Meeting of the NCTE's General Body that was held on September 29, 2020.
The Council discussed several issues during the meeting and one of the main topics of discussion was the issue of extension of Validity of Teacher Eligibility Test to lifetime from seven years.
The decision comes as a relief for candidates who have already obtained the CTET Certificate or TET Certificate and could not apply for teacher recruitment due to expiry of its validity after 7 years.
