Rajasthan Pre D.El.Ed Syllabus 2026-27: Section-wise Topics

The Rajasthan Pre D.El.Ed syllabus covers six areas: Mental Ability, General Knowledge of Rajasthan, Teaching Aptitude, English, Hindi and Sanskrit. The entrance exam, earlier known as Rajasthan BSTC, was conducted for the 2026-27 session by Vardhman Mahaveer Open University (VMOU), Kota, as the nodal agency. It leads to admission to the two-year Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) course.

An honesty note first. The official bulletin we reviewed does not print a chapter-wise syllabus. The section headings below follow the notification as reported by two independent sources. The sub-topics under each heading are a working checklist built from those headings and the usual question types, not an official chapter list. Use this page to plan, and confirm any change in the next official bulletin.

For marks, timing and the marking scheme, read the Rajasthan Pre D.El.Ed exam pattern page. For the full exam picture, see the Rajasthan Pre D.El.Ed exam overview.

Syllabus at a Glance

The paper has 200 objective questions for 600 marks. Every correct answer earns 3 marks, and as reported there is no negative marking. The first three sections are common to every candidate and carry 450 of the 600 marks, which is 75 percent of the paper.

The language rule matters. The Hindi or Sanskrit section is not a free choice on exam day. It follows the course you applied for, and the course type cannot be changed after you submit the form. Section D-I English is compulsory for everyone. These details are reported by at least two sources for the 2026-27 session, so verify them in the new bulletin.

How to Read This Syllabus

• Headings are the stable part. The six subject headings have stayed consistent in reports, so build your plan around them.

• Sub-topics are a checklist. If a topic is not listed here but appears in the official bulletin, the bulletin wins.

• Weightage guides the effort. Sections A, B and C are worth 150 marks each, so each deserves roughly equal weekly time, with extra attention to Rajasthan GK, which needs the most memorisation.

• The level is that of Class 12. Questions test basic understanding and speed, not advanced knowledge, so accuracy under time pressure decides the rank.

Section A: Mental Ability

This section has 50 questions for 150 marks. The reported headings are reasoning, analogy, classification, relationship, analysis and logical thinking. It is the most scoring section for students who practise regularly, because the methods are learnable.

High-weight areas are usually series, analogy, coding-decoding and relationship questions, because they take little time once practised. Start with these to build speed, and leave long puzzles for later in your plan. Aim to solve a typical question in under 50 seconds, since the whole paper allows about 54 seconds per question.

Section B: General Knowledge of Rajasthan

This section also carries 50 questions and 150 marks. The reported headings are the historical, political, art-culture-literature, economic, geographical, folk-life, social and tourism aspects of Rajasthan. Unlike Section A, it rewards memory and regular revision of facts.

Geography, culture and history usually supply a large share of the questions, and tables of lists (lakes, rivers, fairs, dances) convert well into marks. Keep a short monthly page for state schemes and recent developments, because these can change between cycles. Rely on state government and official sources for schemes, and cross-check any figure before memorising it.

Section C: Teaching Aptitude

This is the section closest to the course itself. The reported headings are teaching-learning, leadership quality, creativity, continuous and comprehensive evaluation, communication skills, professional attitude and social sensitivity. Many questions are situational: they describe a classroom problem and ask for the most suitable response.

Evaluation and teaching-learning questions tend to repeat ideas in different words. Read the concept once, then practise scenario questions, and prefer the answer that is child-centred, patient and constructive. Avoid options that punish, shame or ignore a student.

Section D-I: English

English has 20 questions for 60 marks, and every candidate attempts it. The reported topics are comprehension, error spotting, narration, prepositions, articles, conjunctions, sentence correction, kinds of sentences, sentence completion, tenses, vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitution and spelling errors.

With only 20 questions, English rewards grammar rules more than long reading. Twenty minutes a day on rules and vocabulary is enough for most candidates.

Section D-II and D-III: Sanskrit and Hindi

Only one of these two sections is attempted. As reported, D.El.Ed (General) candidates attempt Hindi (D-III), D.El.Ed (Sanskrit) candidates attempt Sanskrit (D-II), and candidates who applied for both courses attempt Sanskrit. Each section has 30 questions for 90 marks, so it is worth more than English.

Section D-II: Sanskrit

Section D-III: Hindi

Because the language section follows your course, choose the course with this in mind before you apply. If Sanskrit is not a subject you have studied, the Sanskrit paper will take far longer to prepare.

Where the Sections Overlap

Some topics serve more than one section, so study them once and revise them in both places.

Phase-wise Plan to Cover the Syllabus

1. Weeks 1 to 4, build the base. Cover Mental Ability basics, Rajasthan GK in the order given in the table, and English grammar rules. Begin the language section for your course.

2. Weeks 5 to 8, deepen and test. Add Teaching Aptitude concepts and scenario questions. Take a 20-minute sectional test every week for each of the three big sections.

3. Weeks 9 to 12, mix and speed up. Move to mixed question sets and previous-year questions. Revise Rajasthan GK lists every week.

4. Final phase, timed practice. Take full-length 200-question tests in 180 minutes, using an OMR-style answer sheet if you can. Review each test the same day, and record every wrong or guessed answer in an error log.

5. Last two weeks, error-log revision. Revise only the error log, formula and rule sheets, and the Rajasthan GK lists. Do not start new topics.

Match your timing to the paper by reading the section-wise exam pattern and marking scheme. Before you apply, also check the Rajasthan Pre D.El.Ed eligibility rules, since age, Class 12 marks and domicile rules decide whether your effort counts. To understand how scores translate into seats, see the cut-off guide.

Using Official Notices Correctly

Many look-alike websites copy exam information, and some post a syllabus that does not match the notification. Use only the official sources, and compare any syllabus you find against the bulletin.

• Official exam portal for the 2026-27 cycle: https://predeledraj2026.com/

• Official website of VMOU: https://vmou.ac.in/

As of 25 October 2026, no official notification for the 2027-28 session was found. The timing of notifications has differed from year to year, with no fixed month, so keep watching both sites. Treat everything on this page as last cycle's syllabus headings, usually continued, but verify them in the new bulletin before you finalise your plan.
