Central Teacher Eligibility Test is conducted by the CBSE to certify candidates who aspire to make a career in teaching at the school level. The exam was launched in 2011 with the aim of improving the quality of school education in India. The purpose of the exam is to create a pool of certified educators who can impart quality teaching to school students. Thus, two levels of CTET were introduced: Paper 1 (Primary Stage) & Paper 2 (Elementary Stage). The teachers who qualify Paper 1 will be certified to teach classes 1 to 5. Similarly, the teachers who clear Paper 2 get certified for teaching classes 6 to 8.
