With the Zilla Parishad poll dates rescheduled to February 7 from February 5, teachers who are to appear for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) have asked for relief from election duty.

“CTET aspirants have been given February 7, 8 dates for the exam. The candidates also need to look into their commute and their accommodation as the centres allotted to teachers this time are far away,” said Sudhir Ghagas, from Shikshan Kranti Sanghatana. The CTET is administered centrally by the CBSE as a minimum qualifier for all school teachers from Std I to Std VIII.
