The Central Board of Secondary Education has postponed the CTET 2026 examination and reopened the application window from August 25 to September 1, 2026, following a Supreme Court judgment. The decision, announced in a public notice, aims to give eligible candidates who missed the earlier deadline a reasonable opportunity to apply. Those who already registered do not need to reapply.
Earlier, the application process was held from May 11 to June 10, 2026. The revised exam date will be announced later. The exam was originally scheduled for September 6, 2026, with Paper II in the morning shift and Paper I in the evening. Candidates can apply or check updates on the official website ctet.nic.in.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two sources cover the same event but from different points in the news cycle. Hindustan Times reported before CBSE's postponement announcement, so it details exam timings and city slip instructions as if the original September 6 date still stands. India Today carries the postponement and application extension, making its version the definitive update. A reader relying only on the older Hindustan Times blog would miss the central development: the exam is now postponed. The balanced take is that candidates should use the reopened window and wait for the revised date.
The real decision to watch is the new exam date CBSE will announce. Candidates who need to apply have until September 1.
