The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is held in the pen paper based mode. There is no negative marking for wrong answers, but one should not attempt the questions in haste.
There are five sections in the main examination.
Each correct answer fetches 1 mark for the candidate.
Only 150 minutes will be given to solve the exam paper.


Some good tips for preparation of Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) are as follows:

Time management is the first and foremost thing you should take care of.

Collect all the books related to your subjects i.e. CTET TGT or CTET JBT.

Focus on Concepts related to the course

Make concise notes for each subject highlighting the important terminologies with a different colour. This will help you in revision and prepare you to answer factual questions in the test.

Take online test series regularly for attaining good marks in the exam.

Going through previous CTET question papers and solving them carefully is essential.

Join a reputed crash course

One should build up the confidence level. Confidence is a must as it will boost the preparation. But one must remember, be confident and not over confident.

Do not overload with information before the exam, just relax take a complete sleep. If you get stressed and do not sleep you will become anxious which is certainly not good.
