The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) September 2026 examination has been postponed, leaving thousands of candidates waiting for the revised exam schedule. The examination was originally scheduled for September 6, 2026, but the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has deferred it and is yet to announce the new date.
The latest update from the official CTET website confirms that the application window was reopened from August 25 to September 1, 2026, giving eligible candidates who missed the earlier registration opportunity another chance to apply.
When Will CTET 2026 Revised Exam Date Be Announced?
As of September 2, 2026, CBSE has not officially announced the revised CTET September 2026 exam date. Recent reports indicate that the fresh schedule is expected to be announced after the reopened application window closes.
Therefore, candidates should not consider September 6 as the examination date. They should wait for CBSE's official notification before making travel or examination arrangements.
Why Was CTET 2026 Postponed?
The postponement and reopening of the application process are linked to CBSE's decision to provide eligible candidates another opportunity to obtain the required Teacher Eligibility Test qualification. The move follows directions concerning TET qualification requirements and the need to provide eligible teachers with a reasonable opportunity to comply.
What Should CTET Candidates Do Now?
Candidates who have already submitted their applications do not need to apply again. Those who applied during the reopened window should keep their login credentials safe and regularly check the official CTET website for the revised schedule.
Once CBSE announces the new date, candidates should also look for updates regarding the city intimation slip and admit card. These documents will be important for knowing the examination centre and reporting instructions.
Where to Check the Official CTET Update?
Candidates should rely only on the official CTET portal for the revised date and other examination announcements. The website currently lists the September 2026 application update and related public notices
