CTET 2014 results have been
declared and only 2% candidates have passed the exam. Common Teacher
Eligibility Test (CTET) is a national level entrance exam conducted by the
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) as a criterion for students to
become teachers. The paper 1 test is conducted for candidates to teach between
I-V and the paper 2 for VI-VIII. Candidates need to pass both the paper 1 and 2
in ordered to teach from class I-VIII.
The government introduced the
CTET in 2011 to improve the education standards across the country. But the
pass percentage of each year is not good. If we compared to last year result,
this year has improved as the pass percentage increased by 1% which is a
positive sign for the officials. Lots of complaints were received by the
officials in the previous years as the questions are so tough and the duration
of the exam must be extended. Finally this year, the officials had implemented
the changes and they can see the change in the result.
But still compared to other
exams in the country this is too low. CTET 2014 held on February 16, 2014 and
CBSE took almost one month to publish the results. 8.26 Lakhs students
registered for the exam which is an improvement over the years, but only 7.50 Lakhs
appeared for the exam. Even though CBSE has given lots of centers for the
exams, more than 75,000 candidates couldn't make it on time and also lack of
centers.
The officials have also
published the exact number of qualified students which stands at 13,428. Most
of the students among them have qualified both the paper 1 and 2 exams. CBSE
has already started preparing for the next year with lots more improvements for
the exam to improve the pass percentage. The CTET 2014 certificate is valid for
7 years and also the candidate can appear again to improve their scores.
