Upon successfully passing the CTET 2025, candidates gain a lifetime eligibility certificate valid nationwide. This qualifies them to apply for teaching positions in Central Government schools like KVS and NVS, Union Territory schools, and participating private institutions. However, CTET is an eligibility test, not a job guarantee; candidates must apply for specific vacancies. They will then proceed through the individual school's recruitment processes. Notably, there's no cap on CTET attempts, enabling qualified individuals to retake the exam to improve their scores for better job prospects. The certificate serves as a foundational requirement for numerous teaching opportunities in India's central education system.
