Download Your Hall Ticket: Step-by-Step
Visit ktet.kerala.gov.in and locate the “KTET Feb 2026 Exam – Admit Card” link on the homepage. This takes you directly to the candidate portal.
Enter your Application Number and Application ID – the same credentials you used when you registered – and submit. Your hall ticket will display on screen.
Download the PDF and save it locally. Before leaving the portal, check that your name, photograph, application number, category, exam date, shift timing, and exam centre details are all correct. Print at least two clear, legible copies on white A4 paper and keep them safe.
Do not delay: the portal may experience high traffic as the exam date approaches, so downloading early avoids last-minute frustration.
What Your Hall Ticket Contains
Your downloaded hall ticket will display:
- Your full name and photograph as submitted during registration
- Application number and the category you applied for (I, II, III, or IV)
- Exam date (8 or 9 August) and your assigned shift timing
- Exam centre name, code, and complete address
- Reporting time – arrive at least 30 minutes before this time
- Your signature space for the invigilator
- Exam-day conduct instructions
Print your hall ticket as soon as you download it. Do not rely on a digital copy alone; the invigilator may not accept a mobile screen.
Before You Arrive at the Exam Centre
Verify every detail on your hall ticket immediately. Cross-check your name, category applied for, exam date, shift timing, and exam centre address. If any information is incorrect – your name is misspelt, your photograph is missing, your exam centre seems wrong, or your shift timing differs from what you expected – contact Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan’s helpline before 7 August 2026. Corrections at the exam centre may not be possible.
Check the centre change notice. Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan issues an “Exam Centre Change” circular before the exam. Some candidates’ centres are reallocated after the initial hall ticket release. Review this notice at ktet.kerala.gov.in to confirm your allotted centre has not changed.
What to Bring on Exam Day
- Printed hall ticket – at least one clear copy; carry a spare
- Original photo ID proof – Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence. Bring both the original and one photocopy
- Recent passport-size photographs – carry two or three in case the exam centre requests them
- Black or blue ballpoint pen – for marking your answers on the OMR sheet
Entry to the exam centre is not permitted without a valid, printed hall ticket and a recognized photo ID. Electronic devices (mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators) are strictly prohibited inside the exam hall.
If Your Hall Ticket Has an Error
If you discover an error after downloading – such as a missing photograph, misspelled name, wrong exam centre, or unclear shift timing – do not wait. Contact Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan immediately.
Helpline: Use the official contact details on ktet.kerala.gov.in to reach the helpline by phone or email.
Reporting time: Submit your correction request before 7 August 2026. Requests submitted closer to the exam date may not be processed in time.
At the exam centre: If you reach the centre and notice a discrepancy that was not caught earlier, inform the centre superintendent or invigilator before the test begins. They can verify your identity against your ID proof and the official candidate list.
Important Exam-Day Instructions
Arrive well before your reporting time – do not risk being turned away because traffic or queues delayed you. Entry closes once the shift begins, and latecomers are not admitted.
Bring your printed hall ticket and original photo ID. You will not be allowed inside the exam hall without both.
Follow all conduct instructions issued by Pareeksha Bhavan on the hall ticket and at the centre. These include restrictions on electronic devices, rules on breaks, and proper conduct during the test.
K-TET is an offline examination. Your answers will be marked on an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet – ensure you mark your responses clearly with a black or blue pen, as instructed.
What Happens After the Exam
Results for K-TET February 2026 are typically declared within 4-6 weeks of the final examination date. Candidates are notified by email and can check results on the official portal using their Application Number and Application ID.
