The Non-Government Teachers' Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) has postponed registration examinations of the 17th batch of non-government teachers.

The preliminary tests were scheduled for May 15 and 16 and the written tests were set on August 7 and 8, according to the NTRCA.

But authorities today uploaded an order on its official website postponing the examinations citing unavoidable circumstances. Fresh schedules will be announced later.

The examination is a pre-qualifier to appoint teachers in private schools, colleges, madrasas and technical institutes.
