The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is one of the most awaited exams for aspiring teachers in India. Conducted twice a year by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), CTET certifies the eligibility of candidates to teach classes I to VIII in central government schools and others following CBSE guidelines.
The CTET July 2025 notification is delayed this year. As of April 18, 2025, CBSE has not released the official announcement, unlike previous years where notifications were out by March–April.
This article analyzes past trends to predict possible dates and explains what aspirants should do next.
Past 5 CTET Notification Trends
Let’s look at the last 5 CTET exam cycles to understand the trend:
| Exam Cycle | Notification Released | Exam Date | Result Declared |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTET Dec 2022 | 31 Oct 2022 | Dec 2022 – Jan 2023 | End of Feb 2023 |
| CTET July 2023 | 27 Apr 2023 | July – Aug 2023 | Sept 2023 |
| CTET Jan 2024 | 3 Nov 2023 | 21 Jan 2024 | End of Feb 2024 |
| CTET July 2024 | 7 Mar 2024 | 7 July 2024 | End of Aug 2024 |
| CTET Dec 2024 | 17 Sep 2024 | 14 Dec 2024 | End of Jan 2025 |
Based on this trend, the notification for CTET July 2025 was expected in late March or early April 2025, but it’s now slightly delayed.
Current Status (April 18, 2025)
- No official notification has been released yet.
- Possible reasons for delay:
- CBSE has not officially given a reason for the delay.
- However, it’s possible that scheduling and coordination with other competitive exams and logistics related to OMR-based testing may be influencing the timeline.
Estimated Timeline for CTET July 2025
Given that it’s now 18 April 2025 and no notification has been released yet, here’s a projected timeline based on past patterns:
1. Notification Release and Form Filling
- Expected Start Date: Mid to Late April 2025 (likely between 18 April and 30 April 2025)
- Last Date for Application Submission: Mid to Late May 2025 (likely 15 May to 25 May 2025)
- Reason: The July 2023 notification came on 27 April, while July 2024’s was earlier on 7 March. With no announcement by 18 April 2025, a mid-to-late April release seems reasonable.
2. Admit Card Release
- Expected Date: Early July 2025 (likely 2-5 days before the exam, e.g., 2-5 July 2025)
- Reason: Recent cycles (e.g., July 2024) released admit cards two days prior, though earlier cycles allowed a week.
3. Exam Schedule
- Estimated Dates: Early to Mid-July 2025 (likely 7-15 July 2025)
- Reason: July exams have historically been held in the first half of the month (e.g., 7 July 2024), though multi-day windows (July-August 2023) remain possible.
