PSTET Result 2026 has been released today. Candidates who appeared for the Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test on March 15, 2026, can now check their marks and scorecard online.
PSTET Overview
Prerequisites
Ensure you have your registration number (issued during application), password (set at registration), or date of birth, and a working internet connection.
If you forgot your password, use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page to reset via email or mobile OTP—have your registered email/mobile ready.
The process works on desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile browsers like Chrome or Firefox; clear cache if the site loads slowly.
Step-by-Step Guide
Open the Official Website: Go directly to pstet2025.org in your browser. Avoid unofficial links to prevent phishing—always verify the URL starts with https://pstet2025.org.
Locate the Result Link: On the homepage, look for banners or sections labeled “PSTET Result 2026,” “Scorecard Download,” “Candidate Login,” or “Paper 1/Paper 2 Result.” Click it—this redirects to the login portal.
Enter Login Details: A form appears asking for:
Registration Number (10-12 digits from your admit card/application confirmation).
Password (or Date of Birth in DD/MM/YYYY format if password forgotten).
Security CAPTCHA (type the displayed text or numbers exactly, case-sensitive).
Click “Submit” or “Login.”
View Your Scorecard: Your dashboard shows marks for Child Development (30Q), Language (30Q), Mathematics/EVS/Science/Social Studies (60Q), total score out of 150, and qualifying status (Pass/Fail). Qualifying requires 60% (90 marks) for General/EWS or 55% (82 marks) for reserved categories—no negative marking applies.
Download and Print: Click “Download Scorecard” or “Print”—a PDF generates with your photo, marks breakdown, percentile (if available), and certificate number. Save to your device and take multiple color prints for job applications. The certificate has lifetime validity for Punjab teacher recruitments per NEP 2020.
Troubleshooting Tips
Site Down/Server Busy: Refresh after 5-10 minutes or try incognito mode; peak hours (11 AM-2 PM IST) are busiest.
Invalid Credentials: Double-check registration number (not roll number); contact helpline 0172-2785076 or email scertpb@gmail.com with proof if locked out.
No Qualifying Status: Recheck calculations—results are final post-answer key objections; merit lists follow soon for certificates.
The entire process takes 2-5 minutes if credentials are correct.
PSTET 2026 qualifying marks remain uniform across both Paper 1 (Classes 1-5) and Paper 2 (Classes 6-8), ensuring consistent eligibility standards for aspiring teachers in Punjab government schools. This standardized approach, set by SCERT Punjab and aligned with NCTE guidelines, requires candidates to secure minimum scores out of a total 150 marks, with no negative marking to encourage thorough attempts on all multiple-choice questions.
Qualifying Criteria
Candidates must achieve at least 60% aggregate marks (90 out of 150) if belonging to General or EWS categories, demonstrating strong proficiency in Child Development & Pedagogy (30 marks), Languages I & II (60 marks total), and subject-specific sections like Mathematics/EVS for Paper 1 or Mathematics/Science/Social Studies for Paper 2. Reserved categories including SC, ST, OBC, and PwD candidates qualify at a relaxed threshold of 55% (82 out of 150), promoting inclusivity while upholding teaching competency standards essential for primary and upper-primary education roles. These percentages reflect raw scores calculated as +1 per correct answer, finalized post the April 5 answer key, and determine eligibility for lifetime-valid certificates usable in teacher recruitments statewide.
Detailed Marks Table
Additional Notes
Scores below these thresholds result in “Fail” status on the scorecard, though candidates can reappear in future cycles without limit; top performers may feature on merit lists for certificates issued later. Normalization isn’t applied as exams occurred on a single shift (March 15, 2026), ensuring fairness across roughly 2.5 lakh applicants for this eligibility test.

Key Details on Scorecard
The scorecard is structured for clarity, with candidate identification at the top, followed by exam-specific data and results summary. Essential elements include your full name, recent passport photo (from application), roll number, registration number (unique 10-12 digit ID), date of birth, gender, father’s and mother’s names, category/sub-category (e.g., General, SC, OBC, PwD), and contact details like email/mobile used during registration. It also specifies the paper attempted—Paper 1 for primary (Classes 1-5) teaching eligibility or Paper 2 for upper primary (Classes 6-8)—along with exam date (March 15, 2026), center name/code, and signature space for verification during job applications.
Marks Breakdown
Scorecards display granular subject-wise marks to highlight strengths/weaknesses, calculated as +1 per correct MCQ with no negative marking across 150 questions (2.5 hours duration). For Paper 1: Child Development & Pedagogy (30 marks), Language I (Punjabi/30), Language II (English/Hindi/30), Mathematics (30), Environmental Studies (30), plus total aggregate and percentage. For Paper 2: Child Development & Pedagogy (30), Language I (30), Language II (30), and compulsory subject (60 marks: Math/Science or Social Studies/others), with overall total. Additional metrics may include percentile rank (if toppers listed), qualifying status (“Pass” or “Fail” in bold), cutoff marks for your category, certificate number (generated post-merit list), and remarks section for any discrepancies noted post-objections.
Usage and Validity
Print in color on A4 paper; it’s valid for lifetime (per NEP 2020/NCTE), unlike earlier 7-year limits, for PSTET-based recruitments like Edussb.pseb.ac.in posts. Cross-verify against answer keys (finalized April 5); contact helpdesk@pstet2025.org or 0172-2785076 if errors found before merit lists.
Post-Result Actions
If you spot a calculation error (e.g., wrong totaling) or scorecard discrepancy, immediately contact SCERT Punjab helpline within 7 days of result (by April 14, 2026):
Helpline: 0172-2785076 or 0172-2785059 (9 AM-5 PM IST, Mon-Sat).
Email: scertpb@gmail.com or helpdesk@pstet2025.org with screenshot of scorecard, registration number, and explanation.
They verify against OMR sheets (viewable later via login at pstet2025.org) for admin errors like data entry mistakes or unapplied grace marks from objections. No fee for such queries; rare cases may lead to corrected scorecard upload.
Limitations
No Rechecking: Unlike PSEB board exams, PSTET (MCQ-based) doesn’t offer answer sheet re-evaluation or subject-wise re-tallying post-final key—results are binding per NCTE guidelines.
No Appeal for Judgment: Can’t challenge “wrong answer key” now; prior objections (March 17-21, fee refundable if valid) were the only chance.
Merit List Pending: Await certificate issuance; errors fixed before printing. If unresolved, escalate to PSEB Chandigarh office (Room No. 128, Phase-8, SAS Nagar).
