Why previous year papers matter
This is added context based on how TET-style exams are generally structured, not part of any official notification.
Every UTET paper follows the same fixed structure year to year: 150 multiple-choice questions, 150 marks, no negative marking, and a 2-hour-30-minute duration, split across Child Development and Pedagogy, two language papers, and either Mathematics/EVS (UTET-I) or Mathematics & Science/Social Studies (UTET-II). Because this structure hasn’t changed, solving several years of actual booklets shows a candidate exactly how questions from the UTET 2026 syllabus get converted into exam questions — which pedagogy theories repeat, how comprehension passages are framed, and how much time each section realistically takes.
How to use these papers effectively
- Attempt one full booklet under exam timing (2 hours 30 minutes) before checking answers, to get an honest sense of pace.
- Compare mistakes across years to spot a personal weak area — for most candidates this turns out to be the pedagogy sub-topics rather than pure content.
- Use the two most recent years (2024 and 2025) closest to the actual exam date, since question style tends to be most current in the latest papers.
- Cross-check each topic tested against the official UTET 2026 syllabus to confirm it is still in scope.

FAQs
Are these the official UTET question papers?
Yes. Every link above goes directly to the question booklet PDF hosted by the Uttarakhand Vidyalayi Shiksha Parishad on its official website, not a third-party copy.
Do UTET-I and UTET-II have separate previous year papers?
Yes. UTET-I is for Classes I–V and UTET-II is for Classes VI–VIII; each has its own separate question booklet for every year.
Is an answer key available with these question booklets?
The Board publishes a separate provisional and final answer key after each exam; these booklets contain only the questions asked in that year’s test.
How many years of papers should a candidate solve before UTET 2026?
There is no fixed number, but working through at least the last three years (2023–2025) gives a candidate a reasonably current sense of question style and difficulty.
