Q1. I lost my CTET roll number. How can I check the February 2026 result?

You can retrieve your roll number from the registered email or SMS sent by CBSE. Check the admit card copy saved on your device. If you still cannot find it, contact the CTET helpline with your application number and date of birth. The helpdesk may guide you through the recovery process. Without the roll number, direct login is not possible.

Q2. What are the minimum qualifying marks for CTET February 2026?

General category candidates must score at least 60% marks. That means 90 marks out of 150. SC, ST, OBC, and PwD candidates get a 5% relaxation. They need 55% marks, which is about 83 marks out of 150. There is no sectional cutoff in CTET. You must clear the overall aggregate.

Q3. Is there any re-checking or re-evaluation facility for CTET?

CBSE does not offer re-checking or re-evaluation of the CTET answer sheets. The final answer key is released after the objection window closes. The evaluation is done through automated OMR scanning. However, you can challenge the provisional answer key within the given deadline. Once the final key is out, no further changes are allowed.

Q4. What happens after qualifying CTET February 2026?

Qualifying CTET makes you eligible to apply for teacher recruitment in central government schools. These include Kendriya Vidyalaya, Navodaya Vidyalaya, and CBSE affiliated schools. State governments and private schools also accept CTET scores. There is no interview stage in CTET itself. The certificate is valid for a lifetime.

Q5. Can I download the CTET e-certificate from DigiLocker?

Yes, CBSE issues the CTET e-certificate through DigiLocker. You need to log in with your registered mobile number. Search for Central Teacher Eligibility Test in the DigiLocker app. The digital certificate carries the same validity as the printed copy. You can download and share it anytime.

Q6. I belong to the reserved category. Do I need to pay any fee for the scorecard?

No, downloading the scorecard or e-certificate is completely free. The application fee was paid at the time of registration. General and OBC candidates paid Rs 1000 or Rs 1200. SC, ST, and PH candidates paid Rs 500 or Rs 600. No extra charge applies for result download.

Q7. What if I am not satisfied with my CTET result?

CBSE does not allow re-evaluation of the answer sheet. If you suspect a technical error, you can write to the CTET unit with valid proof. However, such requests are rarely entertained. You can appear for the next CTET session to improve your score. There is no limit on the number of attempts.

Q8. Is there negative marking in CTET February 2026?

No, there is no negative marking in CTET. Wrong answers do not reduce your score. You should attempt all 150 questions without fear. This policy applies to both Paper I and Paper II. The final merit is based purely on correct answers.
