Latest update · HP SET 2026: Exam Date, Paper I Syllabus, Pattern and How to Prepare

About the HP SET exam

HP SET is the State Eligibility Test for the post of Assistant Professor in colleges and universities of Himachal Pradesh. It is conducted by Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, and, like the national UGC-NET, it checks eligibility for assistant professor posts rather than giving a job directly.

Current status: the date, application window and subject list of the next HP SET are announced by the University, so we do not state them here. Read the information brochure on hpuniv.ac.in for the eligibility marks, fee, subjects and the exact pattern before applying.

The test has two papers. Paper I is common for every candidate and covers teaching aptitude, research aptitude, reasoning, comprehension and general awareness; Paper II is the subject paper chosen by the candidate. This free mock is built for Paper I, which is the same logic as UGC-NET Paper I, so it is also useful if you are preparing for NET.

How to prepare: learn the teaching-aptitude topics (learner characteristics, methods of teaching, evaluation, Bloom's taxonomy), the research basics (hypothesis, sampling, types of research) and then practise reasoning and general awareness daily. Start with the free HP SET Paper I mock test.

Always check the latest official notification for the current exam pattern, syllabus and eligibility.

HP SET mock test questions with answers

  1. Q1. Which of the following is a characteristic of effective teaching?

    निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सी प्रभावी शिक्षण की विशेषता है?

    • A. Ignoring learners' doubts / विद्यार्थियों की शंकाओं की उपेक्षा
    • B. Only lecturing for the whole period / पूरे पीरियड में केवल भाषण देना
    • C. Two-way interaction between teacher and learners / शिक्षक और विद्यार्थियों के बीच द्विपक्षीय संवाद
    • D. Memorisation without understanding / समझे बिना रटना

    Effective teaching is interactive: the teacher plans, explains, questions and responds to learners so that real understanding develops.

  2. Q2. In Bloom's revised taxonomy of the cognitive domain, which level is the highest?

    ब्लूम के संशोधित संज्ञानात्मक वर्गीकरण में सबसे ऊँचा स्तर कौन-सा है?

    • A. Creating / सृजन (Creating)
    • B. Understanding / समझना (Understanding)
    • C. Applying / अनुप्रयोग (Applying)
    • D. Remembering / स्मरण (Remembering)

    The revised taxonomy orders the levels as remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating and creating, with creating at the top.

  3. Q3. Evaluation that is carried out during the course of instruction to improve learning is called:

    शिक्षण के दौरान सीखने में सुधार के लिए की जाने वाली मूल्यांकन प्रक्रिया क्या कहलाती है?

    • A. Summative evaluation / योगात्मक मूल्यांकन
    • B. Placement evaluation / स्थान-निर्धारण मूल्यांकन
    • C. Terminal evaluation / अंतिम मूल्यांकन
    • D. Formative evaluation / रचनात्मक मूल्यांकन

    Formative evaluation is ongoing; it gives feedback to teacher and learner while teaching is still in progress. Summative evaluation comes at the end of a unit or course.

  4. Q4. The term 'andragogy' refers to the art and science of teaching:

    'एंड्रागॉजी' शब्द किसे पढ़ाने की कला और विज्ञान को कहते हैं?

    • A. Young children / छोटे बच्चों को
    • B. Adults / वयस्कों को
    • C. Gifted students only / केवल प्रतिभाशाली विद्यार्थियों को
    • D. Disabled learners only / केवल दिव्यांग विद्यार्थियों को

    Pedagogy is the teaching of children, while andragogy, popularised by Malcolm Knowles, is the method of adult learning.

  5. Q5. Which of the following is an example of a learner-centred teaching method?

    निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सी विद्यार्थी-केंद्रित शिक्षण विधि का उदाहरण है?

    • A. Dictation of notes / नोट्स लिखवाना
    • B. One-way lecture / एकतरफा व्याख्यान
    • C. Project and group discussion / परियोजना कार्य और समूह चर्चा
    • D. Rote repetition / रटंत दोहराव

    In project work and group discussion learners take an active part in constructing knowledge, which makes the method learner-centred.
