What is the difference between the state TET and the CTET?
TET is a Teacher Eligibility Test which is conducted on a state level. For applications to government schools in a particular state, you are required to appear for TET. For example, if you are looking to apply for government schools in Haryana, you will have to appear for the Haryana Teachers Eligibility Test (HTET). Similarly, applications for schools in Kerala will be done through Kerala Teachers Eligibility Test (K-TET).
CTET on the other hand, is a Central Teachers Eligibility Test and is a national entrance examination conducted to qualify eligible teachers for primary and secondary levels in government schools. It is conducted by the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) to appoint teachers in central schools throughout India.
