Shiksha visited one of the CTET exam centres in Noida to gather the feedback of candidates appearing for the exam. Check below the feedback and student reaction:

Bharti stated, β€œThe exam was lengthy but not much difficult. The Child Development and Pedagogy section was the easiest of them all but comprised assertions, statements, and questions. Questions based on theories were also asked. In Hindi, questions were not very difficult. But attempting to answer questions on the computer takes time while scrolling. In the Environment section, questions were asked about biodiversity, tiger reserves, and so on. The overall difficulty level was moderate.”

Q: Β  Is CTET a tough exam?
Q: Β  How many students have cleared CTET 2024?
Q: Β  I want to crack CTET so that I can teach 1st to 5th class. Is it compulsory to give both TET and CTET?

Praveen Kumar stated, "The overall exam was easy in terms of difficulty level. The Child Development and Pedagogy section comprised conceptual questions, NEP, NCP, etc. were also asked. In Language II Hindi, the questions were easy; in Language I English, there were two passages."

Radha stated, β€œThe exam was easy and was able to attempt almost all questions. But, faced difficulty while attempting questions via computer. In Child Development & Pedagogy section questions asked were mostly similar from previous year, NEP (2005), NCP, etc. were covered. The Environment section was also easy.”

Pushpendra Singh stated, "The overall difficulty level of Paper 1 was moderate to easy. Language I and Language II sections were easy, and the EVS section was medium in terms of difficulty level. The Child Development and Pedagogy section included NEP, CALP, NCP, Theories, and other questions.”

Akash stated, β€œThe overall difficulty level of Paper 1 was moderate. Language I and Language II sections were lengthy, some of them based on ancient history. Mathematics section was a bit tough. EVS and Child Development and Pedagogy were medium in terms of difficulty level.”

Monica stated, "The exam was easy. The Child Development and Pedagogy section was easy, based on teaching methods, theories, NEP, etc. Language I and Language II sections were lengthy. In EVS, questions were based on the solar system, reserves, honey bees, etc. However, attempting the paper in online mode consumed more time than offline. If paper would have been offline, more questions could be answered."

Neha stated, β€œThe exam was easy to moderate. Mathematics, EVS and Child Development & Pedagogy sections were easy in comparison to the Langauge I and Language II. It was easy to attempt questions online as it saved time.”

The major difference between CTET and UPTET is that when candidates clear the CTET exam, it provides a national-level eligibility certificate that can be used across India, whereas clearing the UPTET exam provides a state-level eligibility certificate that is only valid within Uttar Pradesh state.
