Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not ignore Part Four — Teaching Aptitude carries 50 marks, exactly one-quarter of the paper, and it is the section most candidates leave until last.
  • Uttarakhand-specific General Knowledge is only item 14 of Part One, but it is by far the longest entry on that list — preparing national GK alone leaves a large gap.
  • There is no negative marking, so leaving a question blank gains nothing; attempt all 200 questions.
  • 200 questions in 150 minutes works out to about 45 seconds per question — practise with a timer, not just with the topic list.
  • The official syllabus gives no chapter-wise or topic-wise mark weightage; treat any unofficial weightage chart as a guess, not as a plan.
  • The paper is bilingual, but technical terms can read differently in the two versions — if a question seems ambiguous, check the other language before answering.
  • The syllabus document does not state the exam mode (online or OMR); wait for the admit card rather than assuming.
