CTET Paper II - 7 February 2026: Social Studies / Social Science

CTET Paper II · 145 questions · 150 minutes · 145 marks · no negative marking · pass at 60%

The CTET Paper II sitting of 7 February 2026 (Set X), on the Social Studies / Social Science track. Child Development and Pedagogy, then Social Studies / Social Science as the optional section, then both languages — the combination a candidate on this track actually sat. The other track's questions occupy the same numbers in the booklet and are on its own paper here. It holds 145 of the paper's 150 questions; the 5 we could not source cleanly from the booklet are left out rather than replaced with substitutes, and the paper is marked out of 145. Every question is the Board's own, in its original order.

Before you start

  • The clock runs on the server. Closing the tab does not pause it, and the test submits itself when the time is up.
  • Answers are saved as you go. If your connection drops, what reached the server is kept.
  • You can mark a question for review and come back to it while time remains.
  • Answers and explanations appear only after you submit.

One mark per question and no negative marking, so answer every one — a guess costs nothing. The clock is kept on the server, so closing the tab does not stop it. This is a real paper that has already been sat; treat it as a rehearsal of the day rather than a source of new questions, because you will have met some of them in practice.

Where these questions come from

Every question in this paper is published on this site and sits on a heading of the official syllabus. Some were set by the Board in a previous year and are recorded with the paper and question number they came from; the rest were written for this site against the same syllabus heading, and are labelled as ours rather than presented as the Board's.
