Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is going to be held for the second time on 29th January, 2012. Since it is being held for the second time, naturally there is not much study materials for CTET exam available on the net or on the market. So how do you prepare for CTET exam?This is the focus of current blog post, which aims to point you to those sample/model papers for CTET exam as well as the prep/guide books. If you do not know about CTET and would like to apply for it, just visit my exhaustive blog article titled: CTET 2012 Notification, Eligibility & Forms. Another blog post titled: CTET Syllabus and Structure gives you the syllabus for this exam.
In the very beginning let me tell you that till very recently, recruitment for CBSE schools were done by CBSE through KVS PGT/TGT recruitment exam. Last KVS PGT/TGT recruitment exam was conducted 8th/9th April 2011. CTET is expected to replace KVS PGT/TGT recruitment exam. Hence you can find that pattern of CTET exam is almost similar to KVS PGT/TGT exam – even the syllabus. Therefore, for the first year (since no previous years paper or guide book for CTET is available), you can use the sample papers & books of KVS PGT/TGT exam to prepare for CTET exam.
Having said that, let us find what is the pattern of CTET exam.
CTET Exam Pattern:
CTET is being held for finding teacher eligibility for teaching two groups of students:
i) Class I-V: You have to appear in CTET Paper-I.
ii) Class VI-VIII: You have to appear in CTET Paper-II.
If you would like to teach both the groups, you have to appear in both Paper-I & Paper-II.
You have to obtain minimum 60% marks in these papers to qualify in CTET, following which CTET certificate would be given which will be valid for 6 years.
There is no restriction to the number of times you can appear in CTET – also even after getting 60+% marks, you can appear in CTET again to better your scores. It would be held annually each year.
What is the pattern of CTET exam? You can find it from the tables below:
CTET Paper-I pattern:
CTET Paper-II pattern:
* Optional paper:
(a) For Maths and Science teacher: Maths and Science.
(b) For Social studies/Social Science Teacher: Social Science
(c) For any other teacher – either (a) or (b).
As you can find above, this pattern of exam is very similar to that of KVS PGT/TGT exam. Click here to find the pattern of KVS PGT exam. Therefore, you can use the sample papers and books of KVS exams for CBSE CTET exam.
