1. Online Only: Applications are only accepted through the official portal: https://exams.nta.nic.in/ncet/.
2. The “One Form” Rule: Submit only one application. Filling out multiple forms will lead to disqualification.
3. Communication is Key: Provide your (or your parents’) own Email and Mobile Number. NTA will send all critical updates, city slips, and results to these registered details only.
4. Information Bulletin: Read the bulletin carefully on the website for specific eligibility and the detailed scheme of examination.

Why Choose ITEP?

The 4-Year ITEP bridges this gap, creating teachers who are subject-matter experts and pedagogically trained from day one. By qualifying for NCET, you enter a pool of specialized candidates that top universities and government institutions prioritize for their academic sessions.
