Are you staring at a blank screen, a “503 Service Unavailable” error, or an endless loading spinner on the official CTET website?
You are not alone. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has just released the Admit Cards for the CTET February 2026 examination. As expected, with lakhs of candidates attempting to log in simultaneously, the official portal (ctet.nic.in) is experiencing massive traffic surges, leading to site slowdowns and temporary crashes.
At latestjob.news, we understand the anxiety this causes with the exam just days away. Do not panic. Your admit card is safe; the server is just overloaded.
Here are direct links and alternate methods to help you bypass the main page traffic and access your hall ticket.
Emergency Download: Direct Server Links
When the main homepage is inaccessible, direct links to the login portal often still work. Try clicking the links below one by one. If “Server Link 1” does not load, try “Server Link 2.”
Important Note: These links direct you to the official CBSE backend login pages. Ensure you have your Application Number and Date of Birth ready.
-
🔴 Direct Server Link 1: Download CTET Admit Card 2026 (Primary Login Page)
-
🔴 Direct Server Link 2: Alternate Login Portal (Backup Link often used during high traffic)
(Note: If clicking directly doesn’t work, right-click the link, select “Copy link address,” and paste it into a new “Incognito” or “Private” window in your browser.)

CTET February Online Exam Form 2026 Admit Card – Exam Date
Why Is the CTET Website Down?
The CTET is a national-level exam with huge participation. When admit cards are released, sudden, immense traffic overwhelms the NIC (National Informatics Centre) servers hosting the site. This is a technical bottleneck and does not indicate an issue with your application status.
Troubleshooting: What to Do If Links Still Won’t Open
If the direct links above are also timing out, follow these steps immediately:
1. The “Incognito” Trick (Highly Recommended)
Browser cache and cookies can sometimes cause loading errors during high traffic.
-
Open Chrome or Firefox.
-
Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or Command + Shift + N (Mac) to open an Incognito/Private window.
-
Paste the direct links from above into this new window.
2. Switch Devices or Networks
If you are trying on mobile data, switch to Wi-Fi, or vice versa. Sometimes, trying from a laptop instead of a mobile phone provides a more stable connection to the server.
3. The 30-Minute Rule
This is the hardest step, but often the most effective. If the site is crashing, stop refreshing continuously. Close the tab, wait for 30-45 minutes, and try again. Constant refreshing only adds to the server load. Try accessing the site during non-peak hours (late night or very early morning).
Once You Download: Quick Checklist
Once you successfully bypass the server issues and get your card, ensure you check these vital details immediately:
-
Exam Center Details: Locate your venue and plan your travel.
-
Shift Timing:
-
Morning Shift (Paper II): 09:30 AM to 12:00 Noon
-
Afternoon Shift (Paper I): 02:30 PM to 05:00 PM
-
-
Data Accuracy: Check your Name, Photo, and Signature for spelling errors.
FAQs: Server & Download Issues
Q: The website says “Service Unavailable.” Is my application rejected?
A: No. This is purely a server capacity issue due to high traffic. Your application is fine.
Q: I entered my details, but the page went blank. What should I do?
A: Do not re-submit immediately. Wait a few minutes and refresh. If it fails again, clear your browser history and try the direct links in Incognito mode.
Q: Will CBSE extend the exam date because the site is down?
A: No. The exam will proceed as scheduled on February 7th and 8th, 2026. Server issues during admit card download are common and usually resolve within a few hours.
