If your name, category, or father’s name on the scorecard doesn’t match your ID, you must report it immediately through the portal’s helpdesk. They do not accept email requests for these corrections later.

Grace Marks: This year, several candidates reported “bonus marks” in specific sets where questions were found to be ambiguous in the provisional key. If your score is 1–2 marks higher than your self-calculation from March, it’s likely due to these neutralized questions finalized on April 5.

Where can I download the PSTET 2026 scorecard?

You can download your Punjab TET 2026 scorecard exclusively from the official portal pstet2025.org. Beware of fake websites with similar domain names. Always verify the URL before entering your login credentials.

What credentials do I need to log in and view my result?

You need your Registered Number or Email ID along with either your Password or Date of Birth. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password?" option on the portal login page to reset it via your registered mobile number or email.

How many marks do I need to qualify PSTET 2026?

General category candidates must score at least 90 out of 150 (60%), while OBC, BC, SC, ST, and Physically Disabled candidates must score at least 82 out of 150 (55%). These are fixed cut-offs and do not change based on the number of candidates or difficulty level.

How long is the PSTET 2026 eligibility certificate valid?

As per the updated NCTE guidelines, the PSTET eligibility certificate now carries lifetime validity. Candidates who qualified in PSTET 2026 do not need to re-appear in the exam — their eligibility is valid indefinitely.

Does qualifying PSTET guarantee a government teaching job?

No. PSTET qualification is a mandatory eligibility criterion — not a direct appointment. Qualified candidates must separately apply for specific teacher recruitment vacancies announced by the Punjab Education Department or PSTRRB and go through a distinct selection process including document verification and merit-based selection.

Can I appear for PSTET again if I didn't qualify?

Yes, absolutely. There is no limit on the number of PSTET attempts. SCERT Punjab conducts the exam periodically, typically every 1–2 years. Candidates can also appear for CTET (conducted by CBSE) as it is also accepted for Punjab government school teacher posts.
