Important Topics for Exam :

• Prioritize Section B. With 100 marks at stake, your domain knowledge in Domestic Science, nutrition, and teaching methodology is the biggest differentiator. Give it at least 60-65% of your preparation time.
• Cover Section A systematically. The five General Aptitude subjects follow predictable question patterns. Use standard government exam preparation resources for Reasoning, Maths, and Language sections.
• Practise with negative marking in mind. With a 0.25 deduction per wrong answer, avoid random guessing. Attempt questions only when you have reasonable confidence.
• Refer to NCERT and Home Science textbooks. For topics like Food and Nutrition, Textile Science, and Human Development, Class 11-12 and undergraduate-level Home Science books form the most reliable base.
• Revise teaching methodology from B.Ed. notes. Topics like Pedagogy, Inclusive Education, and Assessment for Learning are standard B.Ed. curriculum topics that are directly testable.
