REET Level 1 study guide
REET Level 1 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
REET Level 1 is the primary-stage eligibility test conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (BSER), Ajmer. Clearing it makes a candidate eligible to be considered for teaching posts in Classes I–V in Rajasthan government schools. It is an eligibility certificate, not an appointment: recruitment is a separate process with its own advertisement, merit list and document verification. Candidates typically sit it while completing, or shortly after, a primary teacher-training programme such as D.El.Ed or B.El.Ed. The REET Level 1 study guide has 5 sections and about 1,373 words.
