Rajasthan PTET 2025 Deadline Extended to April 17: Documents, Application Steps, Exam Day Plan

What changed and the dates you need to track

The application window for Rajasthan PTET 2025 won’t close just yet. After requests from candidates, the deadline has been pushed from April 7 to April 17, giving more time to those eyeing admission into the 2-year B.Ed and 4-year Integrated B.A. B.Ed/B.Sc. B.Ed courses across Rajasthan. The form went live on March 5, and officials say around 1.5 lakh applications have already landed for the 2-year B.Ed alone.

The exam itself is set for June 15, 2025, in offline mode with OMR sheets and objective-type questions. Admit cards will appear on the official portal 7–10 days before the test, carrying the reporting time, exam center address, and exam-day dos and don’ts. Candidates should check the spelling of their name and personal details on the admit card the day it releases, not at the last minute.

Here’s the quick timeline many candidates asked for:

• Application deadline: April 17, 2025
• Admit card release: 7–10 days before the exam
• Exam date: June 15, 2025 (offline/pen-and-paper)
• Result and counseling: To be announced after the exam

As with previous years, the test will likely run for three hours. Based on last year’s pattern, you can expect 200 multiple-choice questions covering Mental Ability, Teaching Attitude and Aptitude, General Awareness, and Language Proficiency (Hindi or English). Traditionally, each question carries equal weightage and there’s no negative marking, but you should confirm this in the official information brochure when admit cards drop.

Eligibility follows the standard B.Ed benchmarks. For the 2-year B.Ed, graduates typically need a minimum of 50% marks (relaxations apply for reserved categories as per state rules). For the 4-year integrated program, Class 12 with around 50% marks is generally required (again with relaxations for eligible categories). If you’re on the borderline for eligibility, check your category-wise relaxation and subject combinations before paying the fee.

One more thing candidates often miss: the name and date of birth on your application must match your official ID exactly. If they don’t, you could be flagged during admit card verification or at the exam center.

How to apply, required documents, and common mistakes to avoid

The application is online, and the entire process—from registration to fee payment—takes about 20–30 minutes if your documents are ready. You’ll apply through the official website listed in the notification (ptetvmoukota2025.in). Avoid third-party portals that mimic official pages.

What you need to keep ready before you start:

• Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets
• Transfer Certificate and Character Certificate (as issued by your last institution)
• Caste certificate (if applicable)
• Valid ID and address proof: Aadhaar card, Driving License, or PAN card (these serve as both ID and address proof as accepted)
• Scanned passport-size photograph
• Scanned signature

Technical specifications (strictly follow these to avoid upload failures):

• Photograph: JPG format, 3.5 x 4.5 cm, up to 50KB
• Signature: JPG format, 4.5 x 3.5 cm, up to 50KB
• Other certificates: JPG format, under 1MB (for the application stage). For counseling uploads, supporting documents are capped at 50KB each unless updated in the counseling notice.

Pro tips for scanning and uploads:

• Use a neutral background for the photo; avoid shadows and filters.
• Sign with a dark pen on plain white paper, then scan or photograph in good light.
• Crop edges cleanly and compress files with a scanner app to meet size limits without blurring the image.
• Name files clearly (e.g., Photo_Name.jpg, Sign_Name.jpg) to avoid mixing them up.

Step-by-step application guide:

1. Visit the official PTET website announced in the notification: ptetvmoukota2025.in.
2. Click the registration link and choose your course: 2-year B.Ed or 4-year Integrated B.A. B.Ed/B.Sc. B.Ed.
3. Enter personal details: name, father’s and mother’s names, date of birth, gender, category, domicile.
4. Enter academic details: Class 10, 12, and graduation marks (and post-graduation if applicable).
5. Add contact details: a working mobile number and email ID you check often.
6. Upload documents in the exact formats and limits given above.
7. Pay the Rs 500 application fee via online modes (debit card, credit card, or net banking).
8. Preview everything carefully, submit, and download the confirmation page. Save a PDF copy and note your application number.

Common mistakes that lead to rejection or delays:

• Typos in name or date of birth that don’t match your ID proof.
• Wrong category selection or missing caste certificate for reserved seats.
• Uploading photos/signatures that don’t meet size or format specs.
• Entering semester marks instead of total aggregate.
• Paying the fee but not clicking the final submit/confirm button.

Exam-day basics you should plan for now:

• Carry admit card printout, the same original ID used during application, and a spare ID if you have one.
• Bring two black or blue ballpoint pens; avoid gel pens or pencils unless allowed.
• Electronics, calculators, smartwatches, and study material are barred inside the center.
• Report early. Late entry is typically not allowed once the gates close.
• Follow the seating plan printed on your admit card and the signage at the center.

What to expect after the exam:

• Answer key: Provisional keys often release soon after the test. If there’s an objection window, submit challenges within the deadline along with the prescribed fee (details will be published with the key).
• Result: Scores and rank/merit are posted online. Keep your application number handy.
• Counseling: Choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification happen in rounds. If you get a seat, you’ll need to confirm it within the given window.

Counseling document checklist (keep both digital and physical copies ready):

• PTET 2025 application form printout
• Admit card and result/score card
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Graduation marksheet and degree (for 2-year B.Ed)
• Class 12 marksheet (for 4-year integrated courses)
• Post-graduation marksheet/certificate (if applicable)
• Domicile certificate
• Caste/Category certificate and, if required, Non-Creamy Layer certificate
• Income certificate (if applying for fee concessions as per rules)

Format rules for counseling uploads, as indicated: photos and signatures in JPG/JPEG up to 50KB each; other supporting documents are also limited to 50KB unless the counseling notice updates these limits. Read the counseling brochure carefully when it releases—there are often strict deadlines for each phase.

Seat allocation and reservation are governed by state policies. Category-wise reservations apply for SC, ST, OBC, MBC, EWS, PwD, and other eligible groups as notified. If you claim a reserved seat, your documents must be valid and current as per the cut-off dates mentioned in the official notice.

Worried about errors in your form? If an application correction window opens (it sometimes does), use it to fix issues like spellings, category selection, or academic details. Keep checking the official site and public notices for any update on corrections or fee-payment reconciliation.

For final-year students awaiting results, the usual rule is that you can apply now and produce final marksheets during counseling. If your result is delayed beyond counseling dates, you may be asked to furnish an undertaking or join in a later round, depending on the schedule. Keep all academic records ready and synced with your application data.

Three quick checks before you hit submit:

• Does your name on the form match your Aadhaar/ID exactly, including initials and spacing?
• Are your photo and signature clear, upright, and within the size and format limits?
• Have you saved the confirmation page and payment receipt as PDFs?

The extension to April 17 is a breather, not a buffer to wait till the last day. Server traffic spikes in the final hours, and payment gateways can lag. Finish the form, scan your documents properly, and lock your slot now while the window is still open.
