  • All-India / state merit rank
  • Category-wise rank

CG Pre BEd 2026 Cutoff

The CG Pre BEd 2026 cutoff marks are the minimum scores you need to qualify the exam and secure admission in a B.Ed college.

CG Vyapam does not publish a single fixed cutoff, instead, category-wise merit lists are released, and college-wise admission cutoffs are determined during the counselling process based on available seats and merit rank.

  • Admission Cutoff: The minimum rank at which seats are filled in a specific college and category during counselling. This varies by college type (government vs. private), location, and the number of available seats.

CG Pre BEd 2026 Expected Cutoff for Government Colleges

Category Expected Cutoff  Marks out of 100

CG Pre BEd 2026 Preparation Tips

The CG Pre BEd 2026 exam is on June 11, 2026. Whether you are appearing in 2 days or planning for a future attempt, these strategies will help you perform your best.

Last-Minute Tips Before the Exam

  • Do not start new chapters now. Revise only what you have already studied, adding new topics 2 days before can confuse you more than it helps.
  • Go through previous year CG Pre BEd question papers to refresh your memory on question types and difficulty level.
  • Sleep well on the night of June 10. A rested mind performs far better than a tired one.
  • Keep your admit card, photo ID, and 2 pens ready the night before, do not leave this for the morning of June 11.
  • Reach the exam centre at least 45 minutes early. Traffic and security checks at the gate take time.
  • Since there is no negative marking, attempt all 100 questions. Do not leave any question blank.

Section-wise Strategy for CG Pre BEd 2026

  • General Mental Ability (30 marks): This section is the heaviest and can be time-consuming. Practice number series, analogies, coding-decoding, and direction tests. Attempt easier questions first and return to tricky ones later.
  • Teaching Interests (30 marks): Revise concepts like child development stages, types of learning, classroom management, and the teacher’s role. These questions test your attitude toward teaching, not just bookish knowledge.
  • General Knowledge (20 marks): Focus on Chhattisgarh-specific GK — its history, tribal culture, geography, and prominent personalities. Also revise national current affairs from the last 6 months.
  • General Hindi (10 marks): These questions cover basic grammar and vocabulary. Revise Sandhi, Samas, and common synonyms/antonyms. This section can be finished quickly.
  • General English (10 marks): Revise tenses, prepositions, and practise one short comprehension passage. Target a full 10/10 here — it is the most manageable section.
