The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) administers the CTET, a national eligibility test, to determine candidates' suitability for employment as teachers for Classes 1 through 8 in Central Government Schools like KVS, NVS, etc. The CTET Exam is conducted twice a year- in July and in December. The CTET exams consist of two papers, Paper I and Paper II. Candidates can apply for Paper I if they want to teach classes 1 through 5, and Paper II if they want to teach classes 6 through 8. They may submit applications for both papers.
