The PSTET exam is instrumental for aspiring teachers seeking positions within Punjab's schools, and it consists of two papers: Paper 1, designated for teaching levels Classes 1 to 5, and Paper 2, for Classes 6 to 8. This structure allows candidates to demonstrate their eligibility for primary and upper primary teaching roles.
Candidates who are eager to access their results will need their registered email ID and password to log onto the examination portal. Upon successful login, candidates will see their scorecard indicating the detailed marks obtained for each paper, as well as their overall qualifying status. Those who pass the examination will receive certification, which is valid for seven years, providing them with ample opportunity to apply for teaching roles across various educational institutions within the state.
The PSTET exams were conducted on December 1, 2024, with the provisional answer keys being released shortly after on December 10. Candidates were granted a window until December 15 to lodge any objections against the provisional answer keys, ensuring transparency and fairness in the evaluation process.
