The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Nagaland, will conduct the sixth Nagaland Teacher Eligibility Test (N-TET) on Saturday, November 21, Nagaland Tribune reported, citing the council's notification.

Admit cards and rejected list

Candidates can download their admit cards from the SCERT website, scert.nagaland.gov.in, from November 13. The council has also put up the list of applications that were rejected for N-TET 2026, along with details of the examination centres, and has asked applicants to check the site.

The 12 centres

The test will be held at 12 centres, with some districts clubbed together:

  • Dimapur
  • Chümoukedima (with Niuland)
  • Kiphire
  • Kohima (with Tseminyu)
  • Longleng
  • Mokokchung
  • Mon
  • Peren (centre at Jalukie)
  • Phek (with Meluri)
  • Tuensang (with Shamator and Noklak)
  • Wokha
  • Zunheboto

Why it matters

Passing a teacher eligibility test is a basic requirement for teaching posts under the Right to Education framework. The test comes at a time when teacher shortages in government schools have led to protests in several Nagaland districts, including Wokha, where student bodies have shut schools in recent weeks to demand more teachers.

The quality of government schooling is also under scrutiny. At a district monitoring (DISHA) meeting in Zunheboto on Tuesday, Nagaland's Lok Sabha MP S. Supongmeren Jamir asked why private schools were outperforming government ones, and Education Department officials pointed to a shortage of subject teachers as one of the reasons, NE Now reported.

What candidates should do

Applicants whose forms appear on the rejected list should check the reasons given on the SCERT website. Others should download their admit card from November 13 and confirm their allotted centre well before the test day, since several districts share a centre and some candidates may have to travel.

Candidates should rely only on the SCERT website for admit cards and any changes to the schedule.
