The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will release the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 Admit Card by the first week of February 2026 on its official website. As per past year’s pattern, the CTET Admit Card 2026 is released two days before the examination. Candidates can find the direct link to download their hall tickets at ctet.nic.in, once the admit cards are out. Candidates must enter the required login details, including the application number, security pin and DOB, in the login window. The CTET exam consists of two papers – Paper I and Paper II, hence the CTET Admit Card 2026 will be released separately for both papers by the CBSE.
