Important Dates and the Exam Schedule You Need to Know

Mark your calendars, because the Kerala SET 2026 examination is scheduled for Wednesday, January 21, 2026. It’s going to be a full day, divided into two distinct shifts:

• Shift 1 (Paper I): This will run from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Paper I covers General Knowledge and Teaching Aptitude.
• Shift 2 (Paper II): You’ll tackle Paper II from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This paper is all about your chosen subject.

Please, please make sure you reach your examination center well in advance of these times. You wouldn't want any last-minute stress, would you? Getting there early gives you time to settle in and mentally prepare.

A Quick Look at the Exam Pattern

For those who might need a quick refresher, the SET exam consists of two papers, each carrying 120 questions and a maximum of 120 marks. Paper I is designed to assess your general knowledge and your aptitude for teaching, which is pretty fundamental, right? Paper II delves deep into your specific subject area, the one you've chosen to specialize in.

And speaking of specialties, remember that general eligibility criteria typically require a Post Graduate degree with at least 50% marks, coupled with a B.Ed degree. Of course, there are always those subject-specific exemptions, so it's wise to have verified your eligibility thoroughly during the application phase.

Final Thoughts and Best Wishes!

With your hall ticket now in hand, the finish line for your preparation phase is firmly in sight. Use these remaining weeks wisely, focus on revision, and try to simulate exam conditions where possible. Stay calm, stay confident, and remember all the hard work you’ve put in. We wish all the candidates the very best for the Kerala SET 2026!
