Scorecard Details
CTET 2026 expected cutoff (category‑wise)
This is the expected qualifying range (out of 150) for both Paper‑I and Paper‑II in CTET February 2026:
How to treat these “expected” marks
For General: Aim for ≥90; 92+ is considered a safe score.
For Reserved (OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwD): Cross 82; 84–85+ is generally treated as a strong qualifying score.
If you share your category + paper (Paper‑I or Paper‑II) and estimated score, I can tell you precisely whether you likely fall above the expected cutoff.
CTET previous‑year cutoff trend (eligibility angle)
From about 2016–2017 onward, the per‑session qualifying marks have broadly stabilized around 60% for General (90/150) and 55% for OBC/SC/ST/PwD (≈82–85/150) in most recent cycles.
Earlier years (e.g., 2015–2016) had slightly lower qualifying marks (around 80–82 for General, 72–78 for reserved), gradually moving upward to today’s ~90‑mark norm.
A simplified category‑wise trend:
What the trend implies for 2026
CTET has settled on 60% for General and 55% for reserved categories; the 2026 cutoff is still in this range (90/150 for General, 82/150 for others).
The “trend” is less about big jumps and more about high consistency: if you cross 90 (General) or 82 (reserved), you almost always qualify, regardless of session difficulty.
