Begining from the 21st of October, CBSE will open the Correction Window of application for the CTET of December 2024 on their official site “(https://ctet.nic.in).” This window remains open from October 21 to October 25 for the successful candidates who made some errors while filling in their application forms. Corrections will be done by signing in to the official website.
Central Board of Secondary Education has also announced the new date for CTET December 2024. On October 9, a notice by the board stated that the examination would now be held on Saturday, December 14, and not Sunday, December 15. However, in case of overoccupancy of candidates in a certain city, the board may opt to take the exam on December 15 as well. 137 test centers have been selected all over India.
The reschedule has been made considering the fact that lots of other competitive exams are scheduled for December 15. No other changes were announced.
