What’s Next for CTET Qualified Candidates?
Candidates who have successfully qualified for CTET can now:
Apply for teaching positions in government, aided, and private schools that accept CTET scores.
Use their CTET qualification to meet eligibility criteria for state-level teacher recruitment exams.
Improve their scores in future CTET attempts if desired.
Conclusion
The CTET December 2024 results mark an important milestone for aspiring teachers across the country. With over 2.78 lakh candidates qualifying, the competition remains intense, but the lifetime validity of the certificate provides significant flexibility for candidates in their teaching careers. For those who didn’t qualify this time, preparing for the next CTET attempt could be the next step toward achieving their teaching aspirations.
