KVS PRT Syllabus: Sections and Topics Covered
KVS Primary Teacher (Recruitment 01/2025) Tier 1
Nothing in this coverage tests teaching. A candidate applying to teach primary classes answers questions on computer literacy, two languages, general knowledge, general reasoning and numeric ability, and none on pedagogy or child development, which are examined nowhere in Tier 1. Read the topic list against your revision plan rather than against your expectations of a teaching exam: the sections that look peripheral are the paper, and the subject knowledge you were hired for is not on it.
Sections official, topics ours. The section names and counts below are from the official pattern. The topics under them are what this site's own tests cover, not a list the exam body publishes.

Frequently asked questions
What sections does the KVS PRT syllabus cover?
There are 6 sections: Basic Computer Literacy, Language Competency Test (English), General Knowledge, General Reasoning, Language Competency Test (Hindi) and Numeric Ability. Those names, and the question counts and marks beside them, come from the official pattern, checked 10 September 2026. What sits under each of them on this page is a different thing: 87 topic labels drawn from the 100 questions built here for this exam, which is a map of what you can practise rather than a list the exam body published.
Is this the official KVS PRT syllabus?
No, and the page says so rather than leaving you to work it out. The section pattern is official and linked to the notice it came from; the topics beneath it are the ones this site's own tests cover. They are useful for two things: seeing what you can practise here, and checking a syllabus you already have for gaps. For the syllabus itself, read the exam body's own document, because a topic list assembled from a question bank can be narrower than the syllabus and never wider in a way you should trust.
How many questions are there in the KVS PRT paper, and how long is it?
The paper is 100 questions for 300 marks in 120 minutes. Wrong answers are penalised 1 per question. Knowing that alongside the syllabus is what turns a topic list into a plan: it tells you how many marks each section is actually worth and how many minutes you can afford per question.
How do I practise the KVS PRT syllabus?
Sit a full mock before working down any topic list. A list tells you what can be asked; it does not tell you which parts are costing you marks, and that is rarely where a candidate expects. There are 7 free tests for KVS PRT here, and the sectional ones let you rebuild a single section once the full paper has shown you which one needs it.
