The advertisements and notices for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET),scheduled for June 26,have left many applicants confused as they do not include any references to BCom graduates.

The HRD ministry had asked the CBSE to conduct the CTET for appointment of teachers in classes I to VIII.

All notices and ads state that the minimum qualifications for teaching classes I to V is BA/BSc and those appearing for the finals of two-year diploma in Elementary Education or appearing in one-year BEd course. They do not provide any information on candidates with a B Com degree. I want to apply for the test but the notice has not mentioned that I am eligible, said a candidate,who holds a B Com degree.

The CBSE has now issued a new circular stating that B Com graduates are also eligible. It has been decided by National Council for Teacher Education to include B Com graduates in the eligibility criteria for appointment of teachers in classes I to VIII. Therefore,the eligibility criteria for candidates appearing for CTET-2011 include B Com degree holders also, the circular read.
