Don't Make These 7 Mistakes of CTET Exam

Don’t Be Late

It will be clearly specified in the CTET admit card 2024 that it is mandatory for applicants to enter the examination centre at least 90 minutes before the start of the examination. To reach the CTET exam centre on time is crucial, it will help you to relax and calm down from the stress of the test. The exam centre sometimes does not allow late arrivals to reach the venue of the exam. So it's important to avoid these implications. If your test centre is in some other area, you must arrive there a day before the CTET inspection date to get an idea of the location and availability of the car.

Don’t Forget Important Documents

A hard copy of the CTET admit card 2024 and the other documents must be carried to the CTET exam centre. As specified in the official CTET notification, along with the admit card, photo identification such as PAN Card, Voter ID, Aadhar Card and others must be carried. If you assemble all the documents a day before the examination, it will be simpler. Do not take the risk to print out the admit card on the day of the examination. Please ensure the photograph of the passport size must be with you. You must apply the same photograph to the admit card that you submitted during the registration process.

Never Lose Patience while Reading Question Paper

The biggest mistake most students make in the exam hall is to read all the questions in one go. If you encounter tough questions, this will make you more anxious. When reading a CTET question paper, never rush to read the question. Read carefully and try to understand what answers you need to give. It can take a little more time to read questions correctly, but this will help you give more detailed answers. Attempt all the questions, as there will be no negative marking.

Don’t Get Stuck with Tricky Ones

Among the teaching sector recruitment exams, CTET is one of the tough exams. In every segment, there are a few tricky problems to test the presence of mind in the examination hall. So it's important not to get stuck with any tough question, it's actually time-consuming with these questions. Just move on to another topic if you feel lost, or else you will waste time and not be able to try others that are easier for you. It is really important.

Try to avoid guesswork at the beginning of the examination. As per the exam pattern, 2 hours and 30 minutes will be provided for each paper. So work accordingly.

Understand Time Policy

The examination authority is providing 3 hours for each paper in the CTET exam 2024. Use that time wisely and solve the easy and understandable questions on a priority basis. Candidates are advised to solve sample papers in the same time limit during their preparation. In the examination hall, this will benefit you. Manage the time in a way that gives you some additional time to analyse what you have tried and what corrections you might make.

Avoid Panic

This is the most important thing in the examination hall to keep in mind. One of the biggest errors that students make in the examination hall is that they start panicking if they don't know the answers. Don't do that. You're going to feel more depressed. Before and during the test, keeping yourself calm is important. If you sense fear or nervousness, drink water. This is going to help keep you calm. Believe in preparedness. Don't ask someone before the exam about the planning and questions. This will put you and others under stress as well.

Based on Karnataka’s OBC list and APDSC (Andhra Pradesh DSC) norms , here’s a structured approach:

  • APDSC follows Andhra Pradesh’s OBC list , not Karnataka’s.

  • If applying in Karnataka : Use Karnataka’s OBC certificate (e.g., Category 2A, 3A)

  • For Karnataka-Based Applications
    If you’re applying in Karnataka (assuming a typo in "APDSC"):

    • OBC Sub-Castes :

      • Category 2A : Balija, Bestha, Gangaputra

      • Category 3A : Uppara, Vishwakarma.

      • Full List : Refer to the Karnataka OBC PDF ( Result 1 (https://www.ncbc.nic.in/Writereaddata/cl/karnataka.pdf) ) for your exact sub-caste.

    • OC Option :

      • Avoid OC if you hold a valid Karnataka OBC certificate, as it reduces competition (OBC has reserved seats).

      • If opting for OC : You cannot claim reservation benefits .

  • Do Not Opt for OC : As an OBC candidate, selecting OC forfeits your reservation eligibility , increasing competition.

  • Verify Sub-Caste : Cross-check your caste in Karnataka’s OBC list ( Result 1 (https://www.ncbc.nic.in/Writereaddata/cl/karnataka.pdf) ) and match it exactly in the application.
  • Example : If your caste is Balija (2A in Karnataka), select "Balija" under OBC. Do not choose OC .

    Final Answer : Do not select OC . Choose your exact OBC sub-caste from Karnataka’s OBC list (e.g., Balija, Uppara) to retain reservation benefits. If applying in Andhra, confirm eligibility first.


As you can see choose whether to take it or not its upto you but you can opt for OBC  its the better option.However you can match your resuts from the above links provided and search further for it .always takes what's suitable for future refrences.

Hope it will help you clear your mind.
