What is KTET? (Simple Explanation)KTET stands for Kerala Teacher Eligibility Test. It is a state-level exam, similar to CTET, but only valid for Kerala. If you want to become a teacher — or already work as a teacher and want a promotion — in a Government or Aided school in Kerala, you must first pass KTET. This exam checks whether a person has the basic teaching knowledge and skills needed at the Lower Primary, Upper Primary, High School, or Specialist teacher level. Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan conducts this exam twice in most years, and the February 2026 session result has just come out. |

What Details Will Be Shown in the Result

KTET Qualifying (Pass) Marks — Category-WiseTo pass KTET, you need a minimum percentage of marks. This depends on your category and your social category (General/Reserved): |
|
| Candidate Type | Category 1 & 2 (Pass Marks) |
| General Category | 60% (90 out of 150) |
| SC/ST/OBC/OEC | 55% (82 out of 150) |
| PwD (Persons with Disability) | 50% (75 out of 150) |
| Candidate Type | Category 3 & 4 (Pass Marks) |
| General Category | 55% |
| SC/ST/OBC/PH | 50% |
| Important: Besides the overall percentage, you also need a minimum of 40% marks in every single subject section — even if your total percentage is enough, low marks in one subject section can still fail you. There is no negative marking in KTET. | |
