The KTET September 2026 hall ticket is out. Pareeksha Bhavan has published it on ktet.kerala.gov.in; its notification fixed 4 November 2026 as the date, for the exam on 14 and 15 November 2026. Every category paper lasts 2½ hours. Category I is on 14 November 2026 from 10.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and Category II the same day from 2.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Category III is on 15 November 2026 from 10.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and Category IV from 2.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. The deadline to apply, first set for 3 October 2026, was extended to 9 October 2026.

How do you download the KTET hall ticket?

• Login: you need your Application Number and Application ID, both printed on your application printout. For the September 2026 cycle, the ktet.kerala.gov.in home page has a "Forgot App No & ID" link.
• Who gets one: hall tickets are available only to eligible applicants, on the Pareeksha Bhavan website. No one is allowed into the hall or to write the exam without a valid hall ticket.
• Details: the hall ticket carries only what you gave in your confirmed application, because nothing can be corrected after you confirm it.
• Centre: Pareeksha Bhavan allots the exam centre and tells you which one it is through the hall ticket.

Why must you keep the KTET hall ticket after the exam?

If you pass, you need the hall ticket for certificate verification. To collect the KTET certificate, you need the copy that the invigilator signed in the exam hall. It is your job to make sure the invigilator signs it in the space provided. If you lose your hall ticket, a circular of 1 October 2026 explains how to get a duplicate. Apply to the District Educational Officer with:

• the original treasury challan for Rs. 100 per category, paid under head 0202-01-102-92 Other Receipts;
• a copy of your result or application showing the application or roll number and the category;
• your own request letter;
• a stamped, self-addressed cover.

The DEO then issues the duplicate through the DEO Section Login.

What are the KTET exam-day rules?

• Arrival: reach the centre 30 minutes before the exam starts.
• ID: bring the original of the identity card you named in your online application, together with your hall ticket. Accepted cards are a voter ID, driving licence, passport or PAN card. Also accepted: the Social Welfare Department card for persons with disabilities, a nationalised-bank passbook with photo, a government department staff ID, or Aadhaar.
• Banned: mobile phones, calculators, smart watches and other electronic devices. No one may leave the hall before the exam time ends.
• Attendance: sign the attendance register in front of the invigilator.
• Booklets: each room gets four sets of booklets, coded A, B, C and D. All three parts of your paper must carry the same set code. If your booklet is faulty, tell the invigilator and get one with the same set code.
• OMR sheet: use only a blue or black ballpoint pen. A sheet with the roll number wrongly bubbled is invalid. The candidate gets a carbon copy of the OMR sheet.

Can your KTET centre change after the hall ticket is issued?

It has happened before. A note of 4 August 2026 moved candidates for the 8 and 9 August exam because heavy rain made two centres unusable. Candidates allotted MGM HSS Thiruvalla wrote at SCS HSS Thiruvalla (37045). Those allotted Govt HSS Kidangara wrote at St. Joseph's Girls HSS, Alappuzha (35006). In both cases candidates used their existing hall tickets at the new centre.
