Section-wise Strategy

General Awareness

10Q · 10M

Current affairs, Indian history, geography, polity, economy, NVS history and objectives, government education policies (NEP 2020, RTE Act), sports, awards, science news.

Strategy: Only 10 marks — cover NVS history, current affairs, and education policy basics. Do not over-prepare this section. Target 8+/10 with focused 2-week preparation.

Reasoning & Numerical Ability

20Q · 20M

Verbal reasoning (analogies, classification, series, coding-decoding, blood relations), non-verbal reasoning (figure problems), numerical ability (arithmetic, percentages, ratio, time-work).

Strategy: Combined reasoning and maths in 20 questions. Series and analogies are fastest. Arithmetic shortcuts help. Practice under timed conditions. Target 17+/20.

Teaching Aptitude

20Q · 20M

Learning theories, child development, teaching methods, classroom management, assessment and evaluation, inclusive education, CCE, NEP 2020 provisions, constructivism, learner-centred approaches.

Strategy: Study B.Ed books on pedagogy and educational psychology. NEP 2020 and constructivist approaches are frequently tested. Teaching Aptitude is a high-ROI section — most candidates neglect it. Target 17+/20.

Language Competency Hindi

15Q · 15M

Hindi grammar, comprehension passage, synonyms, antonyms, sentence correction, idioms & phrases, one-word substitution. Tests proficiency in Hindi as a medium of instruction.

Strategy: Hindi grammar rules are direct. Practice error detection and comprehension. Target 12+/15 — this section is manageable with 2 weeks of grammar revision.

Language Competency English

15Q · 15M

English grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms), sentence improvement, error spotting, fill in the blanks.

Strategy: English proficiency test. Grammar rules and RC accuracy are key. Target 12+/15 — same preparation as Hindi, just in English. Vocabulary practice daily helps.

Subject Knowledge

100Q · 100M

In-depth subject knowledge for your chosen TGT subject at NVS level (Classes 6–10 + beyond). Tests content knowledge depth, application questions, and some pedagogy within the subject.

Strategy: Subject is 55% of total marks — your success depends on this. Study NCERT Class 6–10 exhaustively then go deeper into graduation-level content. Previous NVS papers show exact question types. Target 82+/100.
