UPTET Paper 2 study plan
UPTET Paper 2 · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy) & Child Development and Pedagogy (upper primary stage, ages 11–14, inclusive-education and learning-assessment focus)
Confirm the elective track (Mathematics and Science assumed in this plan) and tick every syllabus subtopic as known, shaky, or unknown.
Solve a 30-question Mathematics diagnostic covering number system, algebra, ratio, geometry, and data handling, tagging every error by cause.
Solve a 25-question Science diagnostic covering food, materials, living world, motion, light, and electricity, tagging every error by cause.
Read the Child Development unit on development and learning and write ten one-line distinctions among Piaget, Vygotsky, and Kohlberg stages.
Your checkpoint
A diagnostic score sheet with topic-wise accuracy and a ranked list of the ten weakest subtopics across Domains 4 and 1.
Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy) & Child Development and Pedagogy (upper primary stage, ages 11–14, inclusive-education and learning-assessment focus)
Master number system, HCF/LCM, ratio and proportion by solving 60 mixed problems without notes.
Build a one-page mensuration formula sheet and apply it to 25 problems covering area, volume, and surface area.
Tabulate Piaget, Vygotsky, and Kohlberg stages with two classroom examples each for ages 11-14.
Explain five Mathematics pedagogy ideas (nature of mathematics, language of mathematics, community mathematics, problem solving, evaluation) in your own words.
Your checkpoint
A formula sheet plus a 30-question timed Mathematics set scored at 70% or above with every error logged.
Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy) & Child Development and Pedagogy (upper primary stage, ages 11–14, inclusive-education and learning-assessment focus)
Cover Science content on food and nutrition, materials, separation methods, and acids-bases by making 40 recall flashcards.
Draw and label five diagrams: human digestive system, respiratory system, plant cell, distance-time graph, and a simple machine.
Study Science pedagogy: process skills, activity method, laboratory safety, and assessment of practical work.
Study learning assessment in CDP: formative versus summative, tools and techniques, blueprinting a test paper, and rubric design.
Your checkpoint
A 25-question timed Science set scored at 70% or above plus a one-page assessment-tool comparison table.
Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy) & Language I (first language chosen by the candidate - comprehension, pedagogy of language teaching)
Complete geometry and data-handling problem sets totalling 50 questions, including construction and interpretation items.
Practise ten Language I comprehension passages with inference, vocabulary, and author-purpose questions.
Study Language I pedagogy: LSRW skills, top-down and bottom-up reading, teaching prose and poetry, and assessment of language.
Take a 60-question elective sectional mock under timed conditions and analyse section-wise accuracy.
Your checkpoint
A timed sectional mock report showing elective score and Language I comprehension accuracy, with a revised five-item weak-area plan.
Language I (first language chosen by the candidate - comprehension, pedagogy of language teaching) & Language II (second language, other than Language I - comprehension, grammar, pedagogy of language teaching)
Practise 15 Language I grammar and usage sets covering tense, voice, punctuation, and sentence transformation.
Complete ten Language II comprehension passages including unseen prose and poetry.
Drill Language II grammar: parts of speech, sentence types, transformation, and direct-indirect speech.
Compare Language I and Language II pedagogy: mother tongue versus second language acquisition, error correction, and the bilingual approach.
Your checkpoint
Two language error notebooks, one per language, each listing 20 recurring mistakes with the correcting rule.
Child Development and Pedagogy (upper primary stage, ages 11–14, inclusive-education and learning-assessment focus) & Language II (second language, other than Language I - comprehension, grammar, pedagogy of language teaching) & Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy)
Study inclusive education: RTE provisions, disability categories, universal design for learning, differentiated instruction, and IEP basics.
Analyse 20 classroom scenarios and select an adaptation, an assessment modification, and a rationale for each.
Drill 40 Language II grammar questions and 20 Language I pedagogy questions.
Revise two weak elective subtopics identified in the week 4 mock.
Your checkpoint
An inclusive-education scenario matrix of 20 cases with adaptations and rationale, plus a 40-question CDP set scored at 75% or above.
Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy) & Child Development and Pedagogy (upper primary stage, ages 11–14, inclusive-education and learning-assessment focus) & Language I (first language chosen by the candidate - comprehension, pedagogy of language teaching)
Re-solve every logged elective error and re-test those subtopics with fresh questions.
Take two full-length 150-question mocks on alternate days under exam timing.
Review CDP assessment and inclusive-education notes and answer 40 mixed CDP questions.
Practise ten Language I passages at exam pace to build speed.
Your checkpoint
Two full-mock scorecards with section-wise accuracy and a single-page final ten-fixes list.
Elective track, one of: Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies / Social Science (content plus its pedagogy) & Child Development and Pedagogy (upper primary stage, ages 11–14, inclusive-education and learning-assessment focus) & Language I (first language chosen by the candidate - comprehension, pedagogy of language teaching) & Language II (second language, other than Language I - comprehension, grammar, pedagogy of language teaching)
Take three full-length mocks of 150 minutes each and review every wrong answer the same day.
Close every item on the final ten-fixes list with a written rule or example.
Recite the formula sheet, theorist table, and grammar rules daily for 20 minutes.
Simulate one exam morning: sleep schedule, timing, and OMR sheet practice.
Your checkpoint
A final mock average of 75% or above with no section below 60% and a completed error log.
