The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) has announced the results for the PSTET 2026, which were declared on April 7, 2026. This year, candidates who took the exam on March 15, 2026, can now access their results through the official websites: pstet.pseb.ac.in and pstet2025.org.
The PSTET exam consists of two papers, each carrying a total of 150 marks, with 150 multiple-choice questions designed to assess candidates’ knowledge in areas such as Child Development and Pedagogy, Language I, Language II, Mathematics, and Environmental Studies.

To qualify for the eligibility certificate, which is now valid for a lifetime—an upgrade from the previous seven-year period—general category candidates must achieve a minimum of 60%, while reserved category candidates need at least 55%. This change reflects a significant shift in policy aimed at enhancing the teaching profession in Punjab.
The scorecard released includes essential details such as the candidate’s name, roll number, marks obtained, and qualifying status. Candidates can download their official PSTET certificates within two weeks of the result declaration, making it crucial for them to stay updated.
In total, each paper comprises 30 questions per section, contributing to the overall 150 questions. This structured approach aims to ensure that candidates are thoroughly evaluated on their teaching competencies.
As the education sector in Punjab continues to evolve, the PSTET serves as a critical benchmark for aspiring teachers. The exam is designed to determine the eligibility of candidates for teaching positions in Punjab schools, making it a pivotal step in their career paths.
Initial reactions from candidates have been mixed, with some expressing relief at their results while others are contemplating their next steps. The PSEB has emphasized the importance of these results in shaping the future of education in the region.
Overall, the PSTET 2026 results mark a significant milestone for many candidates, and the implications of these results will likely resonate throughout the educational landscape in Punjab for years to come.
