Comprehensive REET 2026 exam guide. Detailed comparison table for Level 1 vs Level 2, Child Development & Pedagogy (CDP) hotspot theories, subject-wise marks breakdown, and high-frequency PYQs.
Securing 125+ marks in REET ensures a comfortable rank and direct qualification for Rajasthan Third Grade Teacher recruitment. Because REET has no negative marking, high accuracy in Child Development & Pedagogy (CDP) and Language sections makes all the difference.
Below is the complete official blueprint for REET Level 1 and Level 2, backed by an analysis of past 5 years of papers.
REET is organized into two distinct levels based on teacher certification eligibility: Level 1 (Classes 1–5 for D.El.Ed / BSTS) and Level 2 (Classes 6–8 for B.Ed).
| Section | REET Level 1 (Classes 1–5) | REET Level 2 (Science & Maths) | REET Level 2 (Social Studies) | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section I | Child Development & Pedagogy (30 Qs) | Child Development & Pedagogy (30 Qs) | Child Development & Pedagogy (30 Qs) | 30 Marks |
| Section II | Language I (Hindi / Eng / Skt) (30 Qs) | Language I (Hindi / Eng / Skt) (30 Qs) | Language I (Hindi / Eng / Skt) (30 Qs) | 30 Marks |

| Total | 150 Questions / 150 Marks | 150 Questions / 150 Marks | 150 Questions / 150 Marks | 150 Marks (150 Mins) |
Child Development & Pedagogy carries 30 marks directly and another 30 marks through pedagogical questions across Hindi, English, and Maths/EVS.
Every year, 65% of the CDP section tests these core psychological theories and national educational policies:
