CTET Eligibility 2024 in Hindi

CTET 2024 के लिए अभ्यर्थियों को NCTE द्वारा निर्धारित न्यूनतम योग्यता मानदंडों को पूरा करना आवश्यक है। शिक्षकों के लिए न्यूनतम योग्यता NCTE विनियमों, संबंधित राज्य सरकार के भर्ती नियमों, या केंद्रीय विद्यालय संगठन/नवोदय विद्यालय समिति के नियमों के अनुसार निर्धारित की जाती है।

CTET उत्तीर्ण करने से शिक्षक नियुक्ति की गारंटी नहीं मिलती, क्योंकि यह केवल एक अर्हता परीक्षा है। भर्ती प्रक्रिया के दौरान अभ्यर्थी की अंतिम योग्यता की जांच संबंधित भर्ती प्राधिकरण द्वारा की जाएगी।
