Q:   How to prepare for CTET without coaching?

Hi, To prepare without coaching may seem a difficult task, but trust me, I’ve been there, done that. You can probably buy books from somewhere which will give you the necessary study material. Or an equivalent option may be to look online for study material. For e.g. there are many websites that are flooded with CTET questions. However, I suggest you to go through previous year questions which would be extremely useful to understand the exam.
