Thousands are racing to apply, but here’s what no one’s telling you: the real competition starts *after* you hit submit. The exam recruits teachers across primary to senior secondary levels; and while the eligibility sounds standard (graduation + B.Ed/CTET), the cutoffs? Brutal. Last year, some categories saw cut-offs rise by 15%; meaning even a small mistake in your form could cost you the chance. Don’t wait till the last week; registration correction window is tiny, and the admit card date? Still unknown. If you’re serious, start today: login, fill accurately, upload docs (caste, domicile, ID), pay fee by Sept 29, and print that confirmation. This isn’t just another form; it’s the first step to a government job that pays stability, respect, and a lifetime of impact. Miss this, and you might be waiting another year.
