Exam Pattern & Syllabus Highlights
The One-Tier examination is an objective Computer Based Test carrying 200 questions for 200 marks, to be completed in 2 hours (120 minutes). There is a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer, so accuracy matters. The paper has two parts:

- Section B (around 100 marks): The concerned subject, teaching methodology / pedagogy and B.Ed.-related topics for teaching posts, or the relevant technical subject for technical posts.
For two-tier posts, Tier-II carries greater weightage on the subject-specific portion.
