The 2026 candidate registration period for the National Teacher Exam opened on 2026-06-22. The process covered teachers and teacher candidates seeking to take part in the PND cycle.

What Changed?

The teacher exam moved from network adhesion and fee-exemption stages into the individual candidate registration stage.

Old System vs New System

Before

Before this stage opened, candidates could not complete the regular PND 2026 registration process.

After

Candidates could register from 2026-06-22 to 2026-07-03, with related deadlines for specialized service, social-name use, fee payment, and later exam participation.
