CTET 2026 Admit Card Expected Soon; City Slip Released

The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 city intimation slip has been made available on the official portal, allowing registered aspirants to view the exam city allotment ahead of the main test. This advance slip helps candidates plan their travel and logistics for the CTET examination scheduled on 8 February 2026. The final CTET admit card 2026, which includes the exam centre address, reporting time, shift details, roll number and key instructions, is expected to be released around 2–3 days before the exam date — most likely in the first week of February 2026.

CTET 2026 Exam Date and Structure

The 2026 edition of CTET will be conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on 8 February 2026. The test will be held in offline (pen-and-paper) mode with two papers:

• Paper I for candidates aiming to teach Classes I to V
• Paper II for those targeting teaching roles for Classes VI to VIII

Both papers will take place on the same day in separate shifts, with candidates assigned to specific shifts based on registration data.

What the City Intimation Slip Tells Candidates?

The CTET city intimation slip is a preliminary document that conveys the exam city assigned to candidates ahead of the final admit card. It does not include details such as the exam centre address, reporting time or shift information, which will be part of the official admit card released later. Candidates are advised to download and save the city slip for planning purposes.

Steps to Download CTET Admit Card (When Released)

Once the admit card is published, candidates must follow these steps:

1. Visit the official CTET portal.
2. Navigate to the admit card download section.
3. Enter the application number/roll number and date of birth.
4. Submit the details to view the admit card.
5. Download and print multiple copies for exam day.

Carrying a printed admit card along with valid photo ID proof is mandatory for entry to the CTET examination centre.

What Candidates Should Do Next?

While waiting for the admit card release, aspirants should:

• Verify the details on the city intimation slip and plan travel accordingly.
• Continue final preparation for CTET syllabus topics and mock tests.
• Keep login credentials and ID proofs ready for downloading the admit card once it is issued.

Having the admit card well ahead of the exam ensures smooth access to the test centre and prevents last-minute issues, as entry without the admit card will not be permitted.
