Last year, I missed qualifying CTET by just 2 marks. This year, I feel more confident after checking the answer key. Can you tell me if the cut-off trends have remained consistent over the years?

Ans: Cut-off trends keep varying from year to year. It can't be a constant. If the questions become relatively easy then the cut off mark will go high and if the questions become relatively hard then the cut off marks come down. But no worries. Since you feel confident then certainly you will succeed. Only thing required is consistency in practise. Best of luck. Just follow me. Professor.................................:)

If someone isn’t satisfied with their CTET results, is there an option to apply for re-evaluation or rechecking? If yes, what’s the process and timeline for it?

Ans: Hello dear.
As far as I know, the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) does not provide for re-evaluation or rechecking exam results. Your current result will be treated as final result.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

If I clear the CTET December exam, does it make me eligible for teaching jobs in both private and government schools? Are there specific states or regions where CTET certification holds more weight?

Ans: Clearing the CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) makes you eligible for teaching jobs in both private and government schools across India. CTET is mandatory in Central Government Schools like Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, Central Tibetan Schools, and schools under UTs like Delhi. Private schools consider CTET as a benchmark, but it is not compulsory in private schools unless specified by the institution. Some states accept CTET scores for teaching positions, while others require their own State TET. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Question by mahesh - May 26, 2025

Career

This year KCET ranks have gone up phenomenally. Will this mean cut offs of last year of various colleges will also go high.

Ans: Mahesh, he significant upward shift in KCET ranks this year means that cutoff ranks for various colleges are also likely to increase compared to last year. This is because, with more students getting higher (worse) ranks, the closing ranks for admissions will move up, making it possible for students with higher ranks to secure seats in colleges and branches that previously required better ranks. However, the extent of this increase will depend on factors such as the number of qualified candidates, exam difficulty, seat availability, and demand for specific branches and colleges. For top branches like CSE in premier colleges, cutoffs will remain competitive but are expected to shift higher by a few thousand ranks. For less popular branches and colleges, the cutoff increase may be even more noticeable. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Question by Mayur - Jun 29, 2025Hindi

Career

Hello sir , Since the MHT CET results been out for over a week There are people on internet speaking about how they got very less percentile on decent marks Whilst I know the reason being normalisation, but various publications (newspaper) talk about how the cutoff of this year's admission will drop about 3%tile Could you clarify about this ...?

Ans: Mayur, In MHT CET 2025, the State CET Cell implemented a multi-shift normalization process converting raw marks into percentile scores for each session to offset varying difficulty levels and ensure fairness. Official results reveal 37 candidates achieved 100 percentile and nearly 39,000 scored between 90 and 100 percentiles, creating a crowded upper distribution and compressing percentile differences among aspirants. Principals of leading Mumbai colleges report that first-round cutoffs for flagship branches such as CSE, ECE, and Mechanical are expected to decline to the low-80 percentile range—approximately 80–83 percentile—compared to last year’s 85–88 percentile thresholds. This trend is reinforced by an unchanged seat matrix of over 1.04 lakh BTech seats and a surge of high-scoring candidates opting for national-level institutes, which has reduced competition within the state quota. Emerging patterns from expert analyses and newspaper reports indicate that normalized percentiles, higher topper counts, and shift-wise score adjustments have reshaped cutoff dynamics this year. Normalization’s percentile compression due to shift-wise adjustments, a spike in perfect and near-perfect percentiles, high scorers migrating to IIT/JEE channels reducing state-level competition, and a stable seat matrix have collectively driven admission cutoffs down by approximately three percentile points in MHT CET 2025, compared to previous year’s admission cycle performance. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir,does AI(Data Science) has opportunity in future like 2030 and what will be minimum salary after studying in amrita
