CBSE CTET September 2026: City Intimation Slip Expected Soon; Here’s How to Download
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is gearing up for the upcoming Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), with the official announcement for the release of the exam city intimation slip expected shortly. Candidates preparing for the test are advised to monitor the official portal regularly for updates.
As of now, the official website, ctet.nic.in, states that the "Advance City Intimation Slip Schedule will be available soon." While the board has yet to confirm a specific release date, the document is a critical precursor to the final admit card, allowing candidates to view the city assigned for their examination centre.
Exam Schedule and Logistics
The CTET September 2026 examination is officially scheduled for September 6. The test will be conducted in two distinct shifts to accommodate all registered candidates:
- Paper 1: 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
- Paper 2: 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM
The city intimation slip serves as a logistical tool, helping students plan their travel and accommodation arrangements in advance. It is important to note that this slip is not the final admit card; the formal hall ticket will be released later and will contain comprehensive details, including the exact examination centre address, timing, personal identification information, and exam-day guidelines.
