conduct CTET on the guidelines framed by NCTE. As the the National
Education Policy 2020 emphasizes on digital literacy, digital pedagogy, use
of technology and its integration so as to transform the entire nation into a
digitally empowered society, the 15th edition of CTET will be conducted on
Computer Based Test (CBT Mode). In order to facilitate the candidates
especially in remote and rural areas to enable them to practice and be
comfortable in taking a Computer Based Test (CBT), all efforts are made to
provide practice tests and questions so that candidates can familiarize
themselves with logging into the system, go through the detailed
instructions regarding the test, use the mouse or numeric keyboard on
screen (virtual) for attempting each question, scroll down to the next
question, navigate between questions, review and edit their options and
 CTET – DECEMBER 2021
submit answers. A list of such practice centers with address and contact
details are available on CTET website. Candidates who are not well
conversant and face difficulties in the online test due to various constraints
may use the services of these centers free of cost.
