  "question": "How should I mention CTET on a teacher resume?",
  "short_answer": "Add CTET under Qualifications with the paper (I/II), passing year, score (e.g., 132/150) and lifetime validity. Recruiters scan for this line first.",
  "answer_md": "Recruiters at CBSE / KVS / NVS / affiliated private schools filter resumes by CTET status. Make the line unambiguous.\n\n**Recommended format:**\n\n> **Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET)** — CBSE  \n> Paper II (Classes VI–VIII, Social Science) — **Qualified**  \n> Score: 132/150 (88%) · Passing session: December 2024  \n> Certificate number: XXXXXX (valid for lifetime)\n\nIf you have both papers, list Paper I above Paper II. If you have a state TET as well (e.g., UPTET, MAHATET, KTET), mention it in a second sub-block. Avoid vague phrases like *\"CTET cleared\"* without a paper or score — many hiring platforms auto-reject.\n\nUpload the CTET certificate PDF from DigiLocker as an attachment when applying online, and mention *\"Certificate available on DigiLocker\"* in the resume footer.",
