No, you cannot directly apply for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) without a B.Ed degree. However, there are a few specific situations where you might be eligible even without a B.Ed:
1. D.El.Ed or B.A.Ed/B.Sc.Ed: If you have a Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) or an integrated Bachelor's degree in Education (B.A.Ed/B.Sc.Ed), you are eligible to apply for both Paper I (Primary Teacher) and Paper II (Secondary Teacher) of CTET.
2. Specialized Degrees: Candidates with specific degrees like B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, B.Sc. in Home Science, or B.Sc. in Physical Education can apply for Paper II
