CTET Vs TET: Key Differences

• CTET: Conducted by the Government of India, the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) qualifies candidates to teach classes 1 to 8 in CBSE-affiliated schools, including NVS and KVS. It aims to attract top candidates for teaching positions nationwide.

• TET: The Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) is conducted by state governments, qualifying candidates to teach classes 1 to 8 in state government schools.

Additionally, B.Ed and B.El.Ed are degrees offered by various institutions to prepare candidates for the teaching profession. Recently, a 4-year degree course post +2 has been introduced to enhance teacher training quality.
