The CTET program has been launched under aegis of NIIT Litmus, an initiative by NIIT for helping young aspirants prepare for competitive exams leading to enhanced employability. Qualifying CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) is a compulsory and essential requirement for securing a teaching job in Government Schools. Leading private schools also ask for CTET qualification for recruitment and for determining pay scale. CTET is conducted by CBSE, twice a year in accordance with the guidelines framed by NCTE as per provisions of the RTE act. The rationale for including the Teacher Eligibility Test as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is to bring national standards and benchmark teacher quality in the recruitment process, improve performance standards of teachers and quality of teaching.
The CTET coaching program (The CTET Advantage) offered by NIIT has been designed to provide complete revision and clarification of concepts related to pedagogy and child development. It guides the students on taking the examination by providing them with innumerable practice tests for clearing doubts and by conducting mock tests in real test environment. The program also includes workshop in CCE, student management skills and interview skills.
As per CBSE, only 1.79% of the 7.5 lakh candidates who appeared for the CTET in February, 2014 qualified. NIIT has helped many applicants clear the exam, with many students almost doubling their scores from the previous attempts, thereby validating its approach and efficacy.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Amitabh Lahiri, President, Career Building Solutions, NIIT Ltd. said, "With over 30 years of experience in Professional Development for teachers, we are now pleased to introduce The CTET Advantage Program to help teachers excel in CTET and play a greater role in shaping young minds."
