The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 is scheduled to be conducted on February 8, 2026, in offline mode across multiple examination centres in India. With the CTET exam city intimation slip already released, candidates are now awaiting the CTET 2026 admit card, which is a mandatory document for exam entry. The admit card will be released on the official website ctet.nic.in, and candidates will be required to log in using their application number and date of birth to download it.

When Will CTET 2026 Admit Card Be Released?
Based on an analysis of CTET admit card release patterns over the last three years, the hall ticket is typically released 2 to 4 days before the exam date.
