Key moments
The Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test (PSTET) result for 2026 is anticipated to be announced on April 2, 2026. This follows the examination that took place on March 15, 2026, which was conducted in offline mode across various centers in Punjab. The provisional answer key was released just a day after the exam, on March 16, allowing candidates to assess their performance.
In the days following the exam, an objection window was opened from March 17 to March 21, 2026, enabling candidates to challenge any discrepancies they found in the provisional answer key. The final answer key is also expected to be released on the same day as the results, April 2, 2026. Candidates have been eagerly awaiting these developments, as the results will determine their eligibility for teaching positions in Punjab.
To qualify for the PSTET, candidates from the General category must score at least 90 out of 150 marks, which equates to 60%. Meanwhile, candidates belonging to SC, ST, OBC, and PH categories need a minimum of 82 marks, or 55%. With a total of 150 marks available across two papers, the stakes are high for many aspiring teachers in the region.
Once the results are declared, qualified candidates will receive a PSTET Eligibility Certificate, which will remain valid for seven years. This certification is crucial for those seeking employment in government schools across Punjab, as it serves as proof of their eligibility to teach.
As the results day approaches, SCERT Punjab has advised all candidates to keep their login credentials ready for the results announcement. This preparation is essential, as the scorecards and certificates for those who qualify will be available for download two weeks after the results are published. The anticipation surrounding the PSTET result is palpable, as many candidates have invested significant time and effort in their preparations.
Overall, the PSTET 2026 exam and the subsequent results play a pivotal role in shaping the future of many individuals aspiring to enter the teaching profession in Punjab. The announcement on April 2 will not only provide clarity for candidates but will also set the stage for their next steps in the education sector.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential changes to the process or additional announcements that may accompany the results. As the date draws nearer, candidates and stakeholders alike are keenly awaiting the outcome of this important examination.
