UPTET Paper-I 2019 Difficulty Level
Know what students had to say about the difficulty level of UPTET paper-I as compared to previous years and CTET 2019 exam below:
Sakshi: "My paper went good. However, the level of questions in the exam was higher as compared to CTET 2019. I found Maths and English sections easy in the exam. This year, English section of UPTET paper-I had more questions on grammar. However, in CTET paper-I, the English section contained more questions on Reading Comprehensions (RCs). The case was similar with Hindi section wherein UPTET exam contained more grammar-related questions and CTET exam contained more RC questions. The sections of Child Development & Pedagogy and Environmental Studies were also easy."
Nabeel: "For me, the difficulty level of UPTET paper-I 2019 was average as compared to last two years’ papers. However, as compared to CTET, I found this year’s UPTET paper easier. I could manage time well in this paper as compared to CTET exam. Although in CTET we get two hours but it is extremely difficult to complete the paper on time. This was not the case with UPTET this year."
