Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between CTET Paper 1 and Paper 2?

Paper 1 qualifies you to teach Classes 1 to 5; Paper 2 qualifies you to teach Classes 6 to 8. Anyone who wants to teach Classes 1 to 8 sits both. Child Development & Pedagogy and the two language sections appear in both papers — which is why they appear in both campaigns here, and why a question from them is badged "Paper I + II".

What is the CTET exam pattern?

Each paper has 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks, to be answered in 2 hours 30 minutes. Every question carries 1 mark and there is no negative marking, so there is no reason to leave one blank.

What are the CTET qualifying marks?

At least 60% — that is 90 out of 150. SC, ST, OBC and PwD candidates usually get a relaxation as per CBSE and government norms. There is no limit on the number of attempts, and the certificate is valid for a lifetime.

Are the questions available in Hindi?

Yes, wherever a Hindi version exists — which is every section except the Language paper. A Language I or II question set in English has no Hindi equivalent, so it is shown in English to both readers rather than being padded out with a duplicate line. Use the gear in the HUD to read English only, हिन्दी only, or both together; it changes the current question without ending your run.

Do I have to pay, or sign in, to practise?

No. Every practice question, every explanation and every notes page is free and open with no login. Points, divisions and the points table are the free layer on top — the only paid item is the CTET Pass, and it does not lock a single question away.
