Teaching GK Questions 2026

General knowledge is not a named section of any CTET paper, but part of it sits inside two subjects. As per the CTET-September 2026 bulletin, Environmental Studies in Paper I has 30 questions: 15 on content and 15 on pedagogical issues. Its content themes are Family and Friends, Food, Shelter, Water, Travel, and Things We Make and Do. In Paper II, Social Studies/Social Science has 60 questions: 40 on History, Geography and Social and Political Life, and 20 on pedagogy. Science in Paper II has 20 content questions on food, materials, the world of the living, how things work, natural phenomena and natural resources. All of these follow the NCERT syllabus. GK24's topic-wise GK notes cover geography, Indian history, Indian polity, general science, and environment and ecology, in English and Hindi. In GK24's guidance, they help you revise facts after reading the NCERT chapter, not in place of it. They do not cover Child Development and Pedagogy, the languages, Mathematics or the pedagogy questions, which together make up most of each paper. The CTET page of this section holds the GK notes GK24 marks for CTET. State TETs set their own syllabus, so check the one you plan to take before relying on this mapping.
