The paper is objective, with multiple-choice questions. Each question carries 1 mark, and each wrong answer cuts 1/4 mark. Questions in sections 1 to 9 are at NCERT secondary and senior secondary level. If the exam is held in more than one shift, scores are normalised so that all candidates can be compared fairly.

Note: PET marks are valid for 3 years from the date the result is released. PET is only an eligibility test. It does not give you a job. You must apply separately for each recruitment advertisement, and shortlisting is done on your valid normalised PET score.
