Why does the Government of India hold CTET Exam?

The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) was formed according to the provisions made in the Right to Education Act in 2011. Then, it became really important for the education system in the country to ensure the highest standards of quality. The Government of India holds a minimum qualifying examination for teachers across the country for a certain reason. This reason is explainable in three points:

• The recruitment boards now hire teachers for grades I to VIII in better standards. Thus, this ensures quality.
• The stakeholders in the education system will no longer have to worry about the teachers. Certainly, the newly recruited teachers have gone through adequate and rigorous quality checks. So, the education system is now free of hiring by other means.
