The Central Board of Secondary Education reopened the application window till September 1, giving last-minute aspirants a second chance. This decision came after the Supreme Court emphasized that serving teachers must get a fair shot at clearing the mandatory eligibility test. If you missed the deadline or were unsure about applying, now’s your window. Existing applicants don’t need to reapply; your form stays valid. With more candidates expected to join, the exam might span two days. This isn’t just a date change; it’s about equity, access, and giving real teachers a realistic path to certification. Don’t let this slip. If you’re aiming to teach in government schools, this could be your turning point.
