CTET 2021: Controversy surrounding the exam
The exam which began on December 16 was marred by technical glitches due to which several candidates were unable to finish their exam and the second shift of the exam was cancelled thereafter. The second shift of the first day of the exam and both shifts of December 17 have been postponed. The new dates of the postponed shifts are yet to be announced. Exams starting from December 20 will remain as is, the board had said.
TCS-ioN which was responsible to carry out the exam said that “on day 1 one exam, unexpected technical issues impacted operations in certain venues, in the first shift. As a result, candidates in affected venues could not complete the exam. Consequently, we had to cancel the second shift exam.”
CTET 2021 will conclude on January 13, 2022. The passing marks for the teacher’s eligibility test are 60 per cent for the general category candidates and 55 per cent for Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) categories. This means candidates will have to obtain a minimum of 90 marks out of a total of 150.
