The Chairman of the Campaign Committee of the Andaman & Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee (ANTCC), Mr. TSG Bhasker, has written to the Chairman of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), requesting that the postponed Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) for the June-July 2025 session be conducted in the month of September.
In his letter, Mr. Bhasker voiced concern over the prolonged delay in the CTET schedule, which he said has created uncertainty and distress among aspirants from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Port Blair is the only designated examination centre in the Union Territory.
He pointed out that several candidates from remote islands had already traveled to Port Blair in anticipation of the exam being held in the usual June-July window. However, with no formal announcement from the CBSE, many were forced to return home after spending significant resources.
“Any sudden or rushed declaration of the exam date could disadvantage candidates who must travel from distant locations. This could severely impact their preparation and performance,” Mr. Bhasker stated.
To ensure fairness and give aspirants sufficient time to plan, Mr. Bhasker has appealed to the CBSE to schedule the exam in September.
