The exam is Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), for eligibility to teach classes I–V (primary) or VI–VIII (upper-primary).
“Free course” batches are offered by some coaching platforms/institutes (online), where classes, study-material or videos are offered free-of-cost to help aspirants prepare for CTET. For example, one such free batch is offered by Physics Wallah (PW) under “Samarth CTET batch”.
A comprehensive free CTET batch aims to cover all the key content for CTET Paper I and/or Paper II. Typical features and coverage include:
| Component | What you get / content covered |
|---|---|
| Live & Recorded Classes | Lectures covering all syllabus topics — you can attend live or later via recordings. |
| Complete Syllabus Coverage | For Paper I (Classes I–V): • Child Development & Pedagogy • Language I & II • Mathematics • Environmental Studies (EVS) For Paper II (Classes VI–VIII): • Child Development & Pedagogy • Language I & II • Either Mathematics & Science —or— Social Studies / Social Science depending on your teaching subject. |
| Mock Tests & Practice Questions | Regular practice papers, test series and mock tests to simulate actual CTET exam conditions. |
| Study Materials & Notes | PDF notes, study materials, subject-wise notes to help revision & concept clarity. |
| Doubt-Clearing Sessions / Interactive Support | Sessions where educators answer queries and clarify doubts on syllabus/topics. |
| Flexibility | Since some batches are online and free, you can join from anywhere, attend live or recorded sessions — good for working aspirants or those unable to visit physical coaching centers. |
If you aim to teach Classes I–V (Primary) → prepare for Paper I.
If you aim to teach Classes VI–VIII (Upper-Primary) → prepare for Paper II.
You may opt for both papers if eligible — good if you want wider job/teaching-level options.
While exact batch duration depends on the institute, typical free courses offer:
A full syllabus completion cycle, often over a few weeks/months. Some batches run until exam date. For example, one free YouTube-based batch for CTET was offered ahead of a 2025 exam.
Sessions in a structured schedule — covering different subjects/sections per class, along with mock tests.
Flexibility to watch recorded classes if you miss live sessions — helpful for working students or those in remote areas.
Before enrolling in a free CTET batch, it’s wise to check:
Whether it covers Paper I, Paper II or both — depending on which exam you will take.
If there are mock tests and previous-year questions included — practise is key for MCQ-based CTET.
That study materials / notes / PDFs are provided (not just video lectures).
That doubt-clearing / interactive support is available — especially important for pedagogy and language sections.
Flexibility — recorded classes, adjustable schedule, accessible from any location (since you are in Delhi, online batches are convenient).
