Paper-I: Language-I (Kannada, compulsory) 30, Language-II (compulsory) 30, Child Development and Pedagogy (compulsory) 30, Mathematics 30, Environmental Studies 30 (visually impaired candidates may answer 60 Social Studies questions instead of Mathematics and Environmental Studies). Paper-II: Language-I 30, Language-II 30, Child Development and Pedagogy 30, then 60 questions of Mathematics and Science (for mathematics/science teachers) or Social Studies/Social Science (for social science teachers). Questions of Paper-I follow the NCERT/State syllabus of classes 1 to 8 with difficulty up to secondary stage; Paper-II follows classes 6 to 10 with difficulty up to PUC/+2 level. Question papers are printed in Kannada, English, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Marathi except for the language subjects.
