The wait is over for thousands of teaching aspirants in Karnataka. The state's School Education Department has officially declared the results for the Karnataka Teacher Eligibility Test (KARTET) 2025. Candidates who appeared for the examination can now check and download their scorecards from the designated portal.
How to Download Your KARTET 2025 Scorecard
Officials have activated the result link on the official website. To access your score, follow these straightforward steps:
- Visit the official KARTET portal at sts.karnataka.gov.in/TET.
- Look for and click on the 'KARTET 2025 Result' link prominently displayed on the homepage.
- You will be prompted to enter your application number and date of birth in the login window.
- After submitting the details, your result will be displayed. Download the PDF version and save a copy for all future recruitment processes.
It is crucial for candidates to verify all details on the scorecard meticulously. The document contains vital information including the candidate's full name, registration or roll number, the paper appeared for, marks obtained, and most importantly, the qualifying status. Any discrepancy should be reported to the authorities immediately.
Understanding Your Score and What Comes Next
The department confirmed that the scores reflect the final assessment based on the approved marking scheme. Each correct answer carries one mark, and there is no provision for negative marking. This means only the total number of correct responses determines the final score.
Clearing KARTET is a significant milestone, but it is just the first step in the journey to becoming a teacher in Karnataka. Here is a breakdown of the immediate and subsequent actions qualified candidates must take:
Step 1: Obtain the Eligibility Certificate
Successful candidates will be issued a Teacher Eligibility Certificate by the authorities. This certificate, valid as per the norms set by the Government of Karnataka, is a mandatory document for all future teacher recruitment applications. Preserve the original in a safe place, as you will need to present it during document verification for job appointments.
Step 2: Actively Monitor Recruitment Notifications
Passing KARTET does not guarantee a teaching job. It is an eligibility criterion. Aspirants must now keep a close watch on official recruitment notifications issued by the School Education Department, district-level authorities, and other recognized recruiting bodies. These notifications will advertise vacancies in government schools, aided institutions, and approved private schools across the state.
Step 3: Prepare Your Document Portfolio
To avoid last-minute hassles, start organizing all necessary documents well in advance. This includes educational certificates, mark sheets, caste or category certificates (if applicable), domicile proof, photo identity proof, and of course, the KARTET qualification certificate. Ensure all details match across documents to prevent disqualification during verification.
Planning for the Final Hurdle: Recruitment Exams
Step 4: Decode Recruitment Rules
Each job notification will have its own set of eligibility conditions, reservation policies, and selection criteria. Candidates are strongly advised to read these guidelines thoroughly before applying to ensure they meet all requirements, including age limits and subject-specific qualifications.
Step 5: Stay in Exam Preparation Mode
The final selection for teaching posts often involves additional stages like written subject tests, interviews, or demonstration lessons (micro-teaching). Therefore, candidates should not relax after clearing KARTET. Instead, they should begin structured preparation tailored to the syllabus of upcoming recruitment examinations. Proactive preparation will provide a competitive edge when notifications are announced.
With the KARTET 2025 results now public, the path to a teaching career in Karnataka has become clearer for countless aspirants. The focus must now shift to strategic planning and diligent preparation for the recruitment drives that will follow.
