Is Super TET Syllabus Easier than CTET Syllabus?

Must read

Super TET, or Super Teacher Eligibility Test, is an examination conducted by Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board every year. It is an offline examination that selects the best teachers in all government-run schools in this state. Apart from the usual eligibility criteria to apply for this exam, candidates also need to pass Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) or Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) before appearing for Super TET. 

Central Teacher Eligibility Test, or CTET, is meant for recruiting teachers for Class I to Class VIII. Its syllabus is much easier compared to that of Super TET. Only Child Development and Pedagogy, Language, Mathematics, and Social Science are the subjects covered in the CTET syllabus.
