📊 What Just Happened – PSTET 2026 Overview
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| Result Date | April 6, 2026 |
| Exam Date | February 2026 (various shifts) |
| Papers | Paper 1 (Primary Teachers, Classes 1-5) & Paper 2 (TGT, Classes 6-8) |
| Mode | Online CBT |
| Who Conducted | Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) |
Look, PSTET isn't your regular teaching eligibility test in India. Unlike CTET which is national, this Punjab TET exam is Punjab-specific. And the PSTET qualifying marks 2026 are brutal if you don't know the pattern.
📊 Who Actually Qualified – PSTET Cutoff Marks 2026
| Category | Minimum Marks | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| General | 60% (90 out of 150) | Tough, but achievable |
| OBC/PwD | 55% (82 out of 150) | Slight relief |
| SC/ST | 55% (82 out of 150) | Same as OBC |
⚠️ Heads up: Just scoring 60% in PSTET 2026 doesn't guarantee a teaching job. PSTET is an eligibility-only exam. You still need to crack DSSSB, KVS, NVS, or Punjab's own recruitment exams to actually get appointed. 👉 This just opens the door.
