Overview
The PSTET Result 2026 has been issued for candidates who appeared in the Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test for Paper I and Paper II. The examination is administered by the designated Punjab TET authority for determining eligibility to teach in Punjab schools; it is an eligibility test and therefore carries no fixed number of vacancies or posts.
Candidates can check their qualifying status, marks and paper-wise performance by downloading the PSTET scorecard. The final answer key, prepared after reviewing objections submitted against the provisional key, is also available through the official examination portal.

Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
The qualification requirements vary according to the paper selected by the candidate:
- Paper I, Classes I to V: Senior Secondary or equivalent with the prescribed marks, along with a recognised Diploma in Elementary Education, Bachelor of Elementary Education or another teacher-training qualification accepted under applicable norms.
- Paper II, Classes VI to VIII: A recognised bachelor's degree with a B.Ed., Diploma in Elementary Education or another approved teacher-education qualification.
- Candidates seeking eligibility for both teaching levels are required to satisfy the conditions prescribed for both papers.
- Minimum qualifying marks and educational relaxations for reserved categories apply as specified in the detailed PSTET notification and prevailing government rules.
Age Limit
- PSTET is a teacher eligibility examination, and an upper age limit is generally not prescribed for appearing in the test.
- Age conditions may apply separately when candidates seek appointment through a specific Punjab teacher recruitment drive.
- Applicants must fulfil the age and service requirements given in the recruitment advertisement for which the PSTET certificate is used.
Fees
- The examination fee was payable online during the PSTET registration process.
- Fee amounts could vary by category and by whether the applicant selected one or both papers.
- No separate fee is normally required to view or download the result and scorecard.
- Candidates should consult the detailed notification for category-wise registration fee information.
Selection Process
PSTET does not directly appoint candidates to teaching posts. The assessment process consists of the following stages:
- Written Examination: Candidates appear in Paper I, Paper II or both papers, depending on the teaching level selected during registration.
- Answer Key and Objection Review: A provisional answer key is issued, objections are examined, and the final answer key is prepared after expert review.
- Result and Eligibility Status: Marks are calculated using the final key. Candidates meeting the prescribed qualifying standard become eligible to participate in relevant teacher recruitment processes, subject to all other conditions.
Qualifying PSTET does not guarantee employment. Final selection for a teaching post depends on the recruitment rules, available vacancies, merit criteria, document verification and other stages announced by the recruiting authority.
