CHENNAI: A majority of those who appeared for the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test (TNTET) paper 1 on Saturday found the child development and pedagogy and maths questions tough.
Many candidates said the maths questions were lengthier and questions related to educational psychology were complex. Teachers Recruitment Board conducted the exam across 470 centres. Out of 1,83,415 candidates who applied for the exam, 1,62,330 appeared, a release from TRB said.
"The questions from Tamil alone were easier and other subjects were tougher. Maths questions in particular were very lengthy and time consuming," said S Kavichitra from Chengalpattu.
The exam was conducted for 150 marks. The questions were asked from Tamil, child development and pedagogy, English, maths and environmental studies.
"Though a majority of candidates appearing for the exam are diploma holders in elementary education, the questions were above their standards," another candidate said. Some teachers from government-aided schools also wrote the exam. As per the court order, they have to clear the exam to keep their jobs. "It (the exam) was not easy to clear," a teacher said.
Officials said the exam was conducted largely without any issue, adding, "We made arrangements for those with errors in hall tickets. It averted major issues."
