Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is REET Mains a qualifying or a merit exam?
REET Mains is the merit exam. The marks obtained in the Mains paper (300 marks) are the sole basis for the final selection and merit list. The initial REET/RTET is only a qualifying eligibility test.
2. What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 is for Primary Teachers (Class 1-5) and requires a D.El.Ed/BSTC. Level 2 is for Upper Primary Teachers (Class 6-8) and requires a B.Ed. or equivalent degree.
3. What is the weightage of Rajasthan General Knowledge?
Rajasthan-specific General Knowledge (Geography, History, Culture, and GK) has a very high weightage, often accounting for 30-40% of the total paper, making it the most crucial section.
4. What if I don't have a valid REET certificate?
Having a valid REET/RTET certificate (Level 1 for Primary, Level 2 for Upper Primary) is mandatory. Candidates without a valid qualification certificate will not be eligible to participate in this Mains recruitment process.
5. Is there negative marking in the Mains exam?
Yes, there is significant negative marking. 1/3rd of the marks assigned to the question will be deducted for every incorrect answer, so candidates must attempt questions carefully.
