Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Your TET Exam Doubts Answered by Experts

❓ How many times can I attempt TET exam?
Answer: Unlimited attempts! There is no restriction on the number of times you can take the TET exam. The CTET certificate is valid for lifetime once you qualify. You can keep trying until you achieve the qualifying marks.
❓ Will I get posted in my preferred location after clearing TET?
Answer: Posting location depends on various factors including your merit rank, vacancy availability, and state government policies. While you can indicate preferences, final posting is based on recruitment requirements. Higher ranks usually get better location choices.
❓ Can I take both Paper 1 and Paper 2 in the same exam?
Answer: Yes! You can appear for both Paper 1 (Classes 1-5) and Paper 2 (Classes 6-8) in the same TET examination. They are conducted on different dates/shifts. This allows you to qualify for teaching both primary and upper primary levels.
❓ What\’s the difficulty level of TET exam?
Answer: TET exam difficulty is moderate. Questions are based on Classes 1-8 NCERT syllabus, which makes content manageable. However, achieving 60% (90/150) requires thorough preparation of 4-6 months with consistent practice. Child Development & Pedagogy requires conceptual understanding.
❓ Is there negative marking in TET exam?
Answer: No! There is absolutely NO NEGATIVE MARKING in any TET exam (CTET, UPTET, or State TETs). You can attempt all questions without worrying about marks deduction. This is a major advantage – use it wisely!
❓ What if I don\’t clear the cutoff marks?
Answer: If you score below the cutoff (60% for General, 55% for SC/ST), you won\’t qualify for the TET certificate in that attempt. However, you can retake the exam in the next cycle (usually 6-12 months). There\’s no limit on attempts, so you can keep trying.
❓ How long does it take to get teaching job after TET?
Answer: Getting a teaching job after TET depends on two factors: (1) Clearing TET exam first, and (2) Applying for teacher recruitment when vacancies are announced. Some states hire immediately, others take 6-18 months. CTET certificate allows you to apply for Central schools (KVS, NVS) and State government schools.
❓ What is the validity period of TET certificate?
Answer: LIFETIME VALIDITY! Since 2021, CTET certificates are valid for lifetime. You can use it to apply for teaching jobs anytime in the future. Previously it was 7 years, but now there\’s no expiry. This is applicable to both new and old certificates.
❓ Can I teach in private schools with TET certificate?
Answer: Yes! As per RTE Act 2009, all private schools must hire only TET-qualified teachers. Having TET certificate significantly improves your chances in private schools too, though salary might be lower than government schools (₹15,000-30,000 in private vs ₹45,000+ in government).
❓ Is TET exam conducted in English only?
Answer: No! CTET is available in 20 languages including English, Hindi, Urdu, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and others. State TETs are usually conducted in English and the state\’s regional language. Choose the language you\’re most comfortable with.

Answer: Best books for TET: (1) NCERT textbooks Classes 1-8 for all subjects, (2) Arihant CTET Success Master for CDP, (3) Pearson TET Guide for comprehensive coverage, (4) Previous 10 years\’ question papers, (5) Online mock tests. Focus more on NCERT – 60% questions come directly from there!
