The booklets CBSE published on ctet.nic.in, exactly as issued. Each sitting was set in several sets with the same questions in a different order, so any set is the whole paper. The Bengali supplement holds Parts IV and V — the two language sections — for candidates who took Bengali; it is read alongside the main booklet, not instead of it.

Sit it against the clock

This paper has been rebuilt as a timed test, each question at the number it carried in the real booklet, and marked out of what it actually holds rather than padded.

The questions, explained

587 questions from this paper carry a worked explanation — not just which option is right, but why, and why the strongest wrong one is wrong. Where the Board's own key departs from standard theory, the explanation gives both.
