The CBSE board said, "The qualifying certificates will be uploaded in DigiLocker and qualifying candidates will be provided their login details on their registered mobile number."

Also, the marksheets and eligibility certificates will contain an encrypted QR code to enhance security. This code can be scanned and verified using the DigiLocker mobile application. Candidates who clear CTET will be eligible to apply for recruitment as teachers of Class 1 to Class 8 in schools under the central government and schools under the administrative control of union territories in India. CTET is held in 20 Indian languages twice a year. The 14th edition of CTET was initially scheduled to be held on July 5, 2020. But the test was postponed to January 31, 2021, due to administrative reasons. The test was conducted at offline examination centres in 135 cities to maintain social distance and prevent overcrowding in the pandemic.
