Q. What is difference between CTET & TET?

Answer: TET stands for ‘Teacher Eligibility Test’. It is conducted by the States and the TET qualified candidate can teach primary and secondary school students of only that particular state. On the other hand, the CTET is the ‘Central Teacher Eligibility Test’ conducted by the Central Government. The CTET qualified candidates are eligible to teach primary and secondary class students of any central government school across the country.
