General Information

● ● ● ● ● Structure and Content of TETAll questions in TET test will be Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), each carrying one mark, with

four alternatives out of which one answer will be correct. There will be no negative marking.There will be two papers of TET—(i) Paper-I will be for a person who intends to be a teacher for classes I to V. (ii) Paper-II will be for a person who intends to be a teacher for classes VI to VIII.Note : A person who intends to be a teacher for both levels (classes I to V and classes VI to VIII) will

have to appear in both the papers (Paper-I and Paper-II).

Paper-II (For Classes VI to VIII)Duration of Examination : Two-and-a-half hours

● ● ● ● ● Structure and Content(i) Child Development & Pedagogy (compulsory) 30 MCQs 30 Marks(ii) Language-I (compulsory) 30 MCQs 30 Marks(iii) Language-II (compulsory) 30 MCQs 30 Marks(iv) (a) For Mathematics and Science Teacher :

Mathematics and Science 60 MCQs 60 Marks(b) For Social Studies/Social Science Teacher :

Social Science 60 MCQs 60 Marks(c) For any other teacher either (iv) (a) or (iv) (b)

Total 150 MCQs 150 marks

● ● ● ● ● Nature and Standard of Questions➥ The Test items on Child Development and Pedagogy will focus on educational psychology of teaching

and learning, relevant to the age group 11-14 years. They will focus on understanding thecharacteristics, needs and psychology of diverse learners, interaction with learners and the attributesand qualities of a good facilitator of learning.

➥ The Test items in Language-I will focus on the proficiencies related to the medium of instruction.The Test items in Language-II will also focus on the elements of language, communication andcomprehension abilities.

➥ Language-II will be a language other than Language-I. A candidate may choose any one language asLanguage-I and other as Language-II from the available language options and will be required tospecify the same in the Confirmation Page.

➥ The Test items in Mathematics and Science, and Social Studies/Social Science will focus on theconcepts, problem solving abilities and pedagogical understanding of these subjects. The test itemsof Mathematics and Science will be of 30 marks each. The test items will be evenly distributed overdifferent divisions of the syllabus of that subject as prescribed for classes VI-VIII by the NCERT/CBSE.

➥ The questions in the test for Paper-II will be based on the topics of the prescribed in syllabus of theNCERT/CBSE for classes VI-VIII but their difficulty standard as well as linkages could be up to thesenior secondary stage.
