The questions asked in the CTET exam focus on evaluating the candidates' understanding of teaching the subject, whether the candidate has pedagogic content knowledge.

Questions related to CTET
Is CTET a requirement for TGT?
One of the most fundamental criteria for candidates for TGT positions is passing the Central Teachers Eligibility Test (CTET). For Trained Graduate Teachers to be able to apply for various recruitment tests, they must pass the CTET or another State TET.
Answer laterWithout CTET, can I become a teacher?
There is a myth that candidates cannot apply for any government teaching positions without a CTET certificate. But it needs to be more accurate. There are numerous teaching positions for which CTET is not required. These positions are open to applicants without a CTET certificate.
Can I apply for PGT with or without a CTET?
CTET isn't necessary for the PGT Post. For PRTs and TGTs, the Central Teachers Eligibility Test is taken. Postgraduate candidates, in contrast to TGTs and PRTs, are not required to take the CTET Exam in order to be eligible for the recruitment tests.
i have done B com , b.ed and cleared CTET paper2 in Maths and science.Am I eligible for THT SST?
Hello dear,
If you have done B com, B.ED and also cleared CTET paper 2 in maths and Science.
Congratulation! Then yes, you are eligible for TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher).
You merely need to decide whatever topic, such as Social Science (60 Marks) or Math and Science (30 + 30 Marks), you wish to write your CTET Paper 2 in order to maximise your preferences, interests, and future advantages.
graduating with at least 50% of the required grades, passing the last year of a two-year elementary education diploma programme, or enrolling in a one-year bachelor's degree programme in education (B.ED). OR a Bachelor of Education (B.ED) degree with at least 45% of the required marks, as determined by the NCTE (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, which are periodically issued in this regard.
I hope you pick a good option for you.
All the very best.
I have qualified UPTET and CTET paper 2 that is upper primary level, am I eligible for super TET examination? I have read at many places that paper 1(primary)should be qualified for supertet, please clear my doubt.
Hi,
Candidates applying for the Super TET 2022 must have graduated and got at least 50% marks in all their studies . Candidates must have obtained a bachelor's degree in primary/ elementary education (B. Ed) or hold a degree in this field.
If you have completed your B. Ed. Degree and qualified both Uptet and ctet of paper 2, you are therefore, eligible for super tet examination also.
But to be on a safer side, you can also go for paper 1 as it would increase your chances for a secured government job if the vacancies are up for any programme.
Regards.
