The pathYour 5-step CTET success path

Follow these in order. Each step links straight to the free notes, practice and mocks you need — no guessing what to do next.

1

Know the exam

Understand the pattern, sections, marks and the 60% qualifying rule before you study — so every hour is spent on what is tested.

CTET syllabus & exam pattern →
2

Learn each section

Work through the concept notes section by section. Start with Child Development & Pedagogy — it carries 30 marks in both papers.

Practise with explanations

After each section, drill MCQs and read every explanation — CTET rewards application, not memorising. Practice daily.

PlanA plan for your level
A

Starting from zero (6–10 weeks)

Weeks 1–4: cover one section at a time — read the notes, then practise that section until the bar turns blue. Weeks 5–8: full mock tests twice a week + revise focus areas. Final weeks: mocks + revision only.

B

Revision / repeat attempt (2–4 weeks)

Go straight to mock tests to find weak sections, then use the readiness tracker to re-practise only what is below the 60% line. Revise CDP and Language daily — they decide most results.

WhyWhy this can replace coaching

Structure & accountability

A clear "do this next" path plus a readiness tracker and streaks — the structure a coaching class gives, without the fees or fixed timings.

Practice with explanations

Every question comes with an explanation, and your weak areas are surfaced automatically so you always practise what matters most.

Free, self-paced, 24/7

Study at your own speed, on any device, with no sign-up — repeat any section as many times as you need.

Frequently asked questions

Can I clear CTET without coaching?
Yes — CTET tests application of school-level concepts and pedagogy. With a structured plan, daily explained practice, mock tests and revision of weak areas (all free here), a self-motivated candidate can clear it.
How should a beginner start?
Know the pattern, then take CDP first (30 marks in both papers): read the notes, practise MCQs, and let the readiness tracker show what is next.
What score qualifies CTET?
At least 60% — 90 out of 150 — with no negative marking. Reserved categories get a relaxation per CBSE norms.
How long does preparation take?
Usually 6–10 weeks of focused study from a beginner level, less for a revision/repeat attempt.
