Topic-by-topic weightage averaged across 2022-2024 papers. Use this to decide where to invest study hours, not where to skim. Source ↗ · verified 2026-05.

Child Development & Pedagogy

30/150 marks avg

    ~16 marks(11%)

  • Inclusive education + special needs

    ~8 marks(5%)

  • Pedagogy + Assessment

    ~6 marks(4%)

Language I

30/150 marks avg

Takeaways for prep planning

  • Child Development & Pedagogy is the highest-leverage section — strong CDP can offset a weaker subject paper.
  • Both Language papers are independent — pick one as Language I (must score in pedagogy + comprehension) and a different one as Language II.
  • EVS questions at the primary level draw heavily from NCERT Class 3-5 Looking Around / Aas-Paas books — direct reading pays off.
