BSTC 2020 exam: date, result and numbers

The BSTC paper 2020 was written on Monday, 31 August 2020 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM during the COVID-19 period. Rules for that exam included wearing masks and keeping distance, and the Hindustan reported on how to fill the OMR sheet. The Times of India named the Directorate of Elementary Education (DEE), Bikaner as the body that announced the result.

The result was announced on Wednesday, 7 October 2020 at 4:00 PM at the Samsa Auditorium in the Education Complex, Jaipur, by the minister of state for education. The cut-off marks were released at the same time. Qualified candidates were asked to register for counselling before 15 October 2020. The Times of India reported that 6,72,821 candidates appeared.

The Times of India article calls the exam “online”, but this was a pen-and-paper OMR exam, so we describe it that way. The official sites at that time were predeled.com and predeled.org. When we tested predeled.com on 3 November 2026 it did not respond.

A scan of the booklet we reviewed (code EETYTEC-20, Series B, 32 pages) shows bilingual questions in English and Hindi, and begins with “Part A: Mental Ability”. It confirms that the 2020 paper followed the same section approach as before.

The BSTC exam paper download 2020 you get here was typed and proofread by us from a scan of a Series B booklet (code EETYTEC-20). Our scan has booklet pages 2 to 31 only, so the cover and the instruction page are not included; all 200 questions are there. We did not copy the explanations or layout of any coaching site. You can also read and practise every question on this page; the answers stay hidden until you tap Show answer.

How we made the answer key

The answer key in the PDF is labelled “ParinamSetu answer key (unofficial)”. We did not find an official 2020 answer key: the official site, predeled.com, did not load when we tested it on 3 November 2026. Official keys for Series A to D were reported at the time, but we could not open them. So we built the key this way:

  • We solved every Mental Ability, English and Sanskrit question ourselves (69 of the 200 main-paper answers in the PDF rest on our own solving alone, plus all 30 Sanskrit answers).
  • For Rajasthan GK, Teaching Aptitude and Hindi we compared our reading with a published unofficial solved paper that uses the Series A order of questions, matching questions by their wording (114 answers agree with it). A second unofficial list helped on a few GK items.
  • We checked census-based answers against the 2011 Census table on the Rajasthan education department site. This changed one answer (Q66, lowest literacy pair).
  • Ten questions in the main paper are disputed (Q16, Q34, Q66, Q79, Q98, Q181, Q189, Q190, Q192 and Q196) and two in the Sanskrit set (Q171 and Q194). The PDF and this page explain the doubt for each.
  • Teaching Aptitude (Q101 to Q150) shows one best answer per question from the published solved paper; Q108 is our judgement. We could not confirm from our scan whether the paper gave graded marks for the other options.
  • Five answers are judgement-based (Q26, Q41, Q108, Q158 and Q197), and two (Q74 and Q93) rest on our own knowledge without a second source.

Unofficial key: it may still contain errors

Because there is no official key to compare with, treat our key as a careful study aid and not as the final word. If the Directorate publishes a key or a source you trust disagrees with ours, follow the official source.

Official site and fake-link warning

The official 2020 sites named in the reports were predeled.com and predeled.org. When we tested predeled.com on 3 November 2026 it did not respond, so we do not link to either. Do not enter personal details on a site that you reach through an old link.

Other 2020 PDFs on the web

Scanned papers and keys for the four series (A, B, C and D) circulate on coaching and result sites, and the question order differs between series. If you use one, check the points below first. The explanations in those copies belong to their authors, so we did not reuse them.

  • The cover shows the exam date 31 August 2020 and a code such as EETYTEC-20 with a series letter.
  • Questions 1 to 50 are Mental Ability, Q51 to Q100 are Rajasthan GK, Q101 to Q150 are Teaching Aptitude and Q151 to Q170 are English.
  • Make sure the answer key is for your series. Questions and options appear in a different order in each series, so a key letter for Series A does not fit Series B.
  • Be careful with pages that claim 230 questions or 690 marks; the booklet we read has 200 questions.
  • The site does not ask for payment or app installation.

BSTC 2020 exam pattern and marking

Reports describe the same four-section, 200-question, 600-mark structure in 2020, with no negative marking.

How the 2020 paper was laid out. We read all 200 questions of the Series B booklet:

Questions Section What the questions looked like
Q1 to Q50 Part A: Mental Ability Reasoning, series, coding, blood relations, calendar, Venn diagrams
Q51 to Q100 Part B: General Awareness, Rajasthan Art, history, places, rivers, census, polity

Parts A to C appear in English and Hindi, the English section is in English only, and Q171 to Q200 appear twice, once in Hindi and once in Sanskrit. Reports say each question carried 3 marks.

BSTC 2020 paper analysis: what each section tested

This analysis comes from reading all 200 questions of the Series B booklet, not from anyone’s summary. You can open every question further down this page or in the PDF.

Mental Ability (Q1 to Q50)

The section opened with a letter-series puzzle (Q1), an age problem (Q2) and a number-set similarity item built on cubes (Q3). Venn-diagram questions appeared in Q4, Q6 and Q42, and analogies in Q5, Q9 and Q41. Number and letter series and matrices were the biggest group: Q8, Q12, Q15, Q31, Q32 and Q37. Coding items were Q18, Q28 and Q45, and Q7 used a symbol-swap equation. A number-line pair of questions (Q13 and Q14) asked you to count digit pairs, and Q34 to Q36 used one survey passage with data on males and females. Arithmetic items covered coins in a ratio (Q17), averages (Q20), a salary and savings (Q30), a heads-and-legs problem (Q29), the cost of oranges (Q39), simple interest (Q46), a train crossing a platform (Q47), rank from the end (Q48) and the smallest of four fractions (Q50). Blood-relation questions were Q22, Q25 and Q44, calendar questions Q33 and Q40, and Q19 was a direction problem. Odd-one-out questions were Q16, Q23, Q26, Q27, Q43 and Q49, and Q38 was a basic probability question.

General awareness of Rajasthan (Q51 to Q100)

The section mixed several areas. History and polity: the Parmars of Abu (Q51), Maharao Ummed Singh of Kota (Q56), the 1857 revolt (Q59), Kirti Stambh (Q62), the Sirohi Prajamandal (Q94), the Rajputana Madhya Bharat Sabha (Q98), Maharana Kumbha’s Delhi contemporaries (Q88), the last state to accept British rule (Q78), the Council of Ministers (Q95), Parliament seats (Q58) and the Gram Panchayat secretary (Q84). Art and culture: Kshetrapal (Q52), the Alghoza (Q53), Falku Bai and the Chari dance (Q61), Manganiyar artists (Q69), Pathwari (Q79), the Jhanjh (Q82), the Jala song (Q72), Mandawa (Q73) and an author match (Q93). Geography and economy: the smallest district (Q54), the sex ratio (Q64), literacy (Q66 and Q68), the Bhorat plateau (Q65), the Ghaggar (Q67), rivers of the Bay of Bengal (Q60), Mavath and crops (Q71, Q97), Jhamarkotra (Q76), Darrah (Q81), density (Q87), boundaries (Q86 and Q91) and Rajasthan’s share of India’s area (Q90). Three items depend on the census, so they are 2011 data.

Teaching Aptitude (Q101 to Q150)

Almost every question was a classroom situation or a belief about teaching: why speech does not develop (Q101), in-service training (Q102), what contributes most to a child’s development (Q103), attitude to colleagues (Q104), the main function of a teacher (Q105), classroom communication (Q106, Q114 and Q128), CCE (Q107), what to do when you cannot answer a question (Q113), punctuality (Q115), why teachers ask questions (Q116) and the aim of teaching (Q117). Others covered creativity (Q118), social evils (Q124), a friend’s child in your class (Q125), why you became a teacher (Q127), homework (Q131), leadership (Q132, Q138 and Q144), evaluation (Q133), preparation before class (Q134), a student’s family problem (Q141) and the qualities of a good teacher (Q121, Q135 and Q149). The published answers favour the helpful, student-centred choice.

English (Q151 to Q170)

The English part tested a modal verb (Q151), a preposition (Q152), a synonym and an antonym (Q153 and Q159), a one-word phrase (Q154), indirect and direct speech (Q155 and Q162), articles (Q156 and Q169), two spelling items (Q157 and Q163), error spotting (Q158), subject-verb agreement (Q160), the kind of sentence (Q161), a five-question passage (Q164 to Q168) and a preposition of price (Q170). All 20 questions are rule-based.

Hindi and Sanskrit (Q171 to Q200)

The Hindi set covered sandhi (Q171, Q188 and Q193), suffixes and prefixes (Q172, Q182, Q194, Q196 and Q200), synonyms and antonyms (Q173, Q178 and Q180), spelling (Q174, Q192 and Q197), an author (Q175), sentence type (Q176), samas (Q177, Q181, Q189 and Q198), idioms and proverbs (Q179, Q183 and Q199), one word for a phrase (Q184, Q186 and Q191), word meanings (Q185 and Q195), an incorrect sentence (Q187) and a feminine form (Q190).

2020 के पेपर में बुद्धिमत्ता (1-50), राजस्थान सामान्य ज्ञान (51-100), शिक्षण अभिक्षमता (101-150), अंग्रेज़ी (151-170) और हिन्दी या संस्कृत (171-200) का क्रम रहा; प्रश्न अंग्रेज़ी और हिन्दी दोनों में थे।

How to solve the BSTC 2020 paper as a timed mock

A paper only helps if you solve it under exam conditions. Treat the 2020 paper like the real exam: 200 questions, 3 hours, one sitting, an OMR-style answer grid and no phone.

  1. Set up the roomStart at the same clock time as the real exam (2:00 PM) if you can, so your body gets used to the slot. Keep a blue or black ballpoint pen, a watch and a printed copy of the paper. Do not open the answer key.
  2. Choose your orderMany candidates start with the language and Teaching Aptitude sections because they are faster, then take Mental Ability and Rajasthan awareness. Try two orders in two mocks and keep the one that scores more.
  3. Mark as you goFill the answer grid after each section, not at the end, to avoid running out of time. Remember that there is no negative marking in the cycles we checked, so never leave a blank.
  4. Log your timeWrite down the minutes you took for each section. Your target is about 54 seconds per question on average.
  5. Score with the official keyUse the official answer key where one is available. Count each section separately and note the weakest one.
Part Questions Suggested time
Mental Ability 50 40 min
Rajasthan awareness 50 25 min
Teaching Aptitude 50 40 min
English 20 20 min
Hindi or Sanskrit 30 25 min
OMR check and review — 30 min

The time plan is our suggestion for practice. It adds up to 180 minutes. Change it after your first mock if one section needs more time.

Score yourself on the BSTC 2020 paper

Each question in the 2020 pattern is worth 3 marks and wrong answers do not lose marks, so your score is simply 3 times the number of correct answers. This table converts correct answers into marks on the 600-mark scale.

Correct answers Marks out of 600 What it means
100 300 50% (General qualifying percentage reported in 2019 and 2026)
90 270 45% (qualifying percentage for reserved categories)
120 360 60%
150 450 75%
170 510 85%, the topper’s score in 2016 (510 marks)
171 513 85.5%, the General topper’s score in 2017 (513 marks)

Qualifying is not the same as getting a seat. Seats are allotted by merit rank in counselling, so compare your score with the toppers and with the number of seats and candidates that year, not with the qualifying mark alone.

Seven-day revision loop using the BSTC 2020 paper

If you have one week, this loop gets the most from a single paper. Repeat it with a new year each week.

Day Task Output
Day 1 Full timed mock on the 2020 paper Score and section timings
Day 2 Check answers; write the mistake log List of wrong and guessed questions
Day 3 Study the weakest section from the syllabus Notes and one-page summary
Day 4 Section-only practice from another year Accuracy percentage
Day 5 Re-solve the wrong questions from Day 2 Fewer repeat errors
Day 6 Language revision: grammar and vocabulary Quick marks in 50 questions
Day 7 Second timed mock on a different year Compare with Day 1

Candidates who improve usually do so in the weakest section, not in the one they already like. Keep the mistake log short and honest.

Disputed question.

The four boxes show a rectangle (1), a rectangle with one rounded end (2), the same rectangle tilted (3) and an upright rounded capsule (4). Boxes 1 and 3 are the same shape in different positions, and boxes 2 and 4 are the only ones with a curved side, so no single box is clearly the odd one. We could not find a published key for this item, so we give no letter.

Yes. Download the ParinamSetu BSTC 2020 question paper PDF. It has all 200 questions in the original order, the Sanskrit alternative set and an unofficial answer key, with the disputed questions listed. There is no official 2020 key to compare with, so check any answer you are unsure about.

How can I check my answers for the BSTC 2020 paper?

Use the answer key released by the conducting body wherever one exists. Third-party keys are useful for practice but may differ from the official key. Count your correct answers and multiply by 3 to get your marks.

Which series is the BSTC 2020 paper on ParinamSetu?

It is typed from a Series B booklet (EETYTEC-20). Question order differs between Series A to D, so if you compare with a key for another series, match the questions by wording, not by number.
