Meanwhile, CBSE has also cancelled class 10 exams and have given an option to class 12 students to sit for board exams if they are unhappy with their results, scheduled to release on July 15.
The CTET exam was conducted in two parts — part I and part II. Part I for those from classes 1 to 5 and part II for classes 6 to 8. The exam contains 150 questions to be solved in two-and-a-half hours. Each question will be for one mark and there will be no negative marking.
For both the papers, child development and pedagogy, language I and II will be must with 30 marks each. In the paper I, the remaining parts will be mathematics and environmental science and for paper II the 60 marks will be for subject-specific paper.
To clear the exam, the candidates need to secure 60 per cent marks out of 150 marks. For reserved category candidates, the cut-off is 55 per cent which comes to around 82 marks out of 150.
