MPTET is conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB, formerly Vyapam) using a "Varg" (grade) naming convention unique to MP — Varg 3 is Primary (Classes I-V), Varg 2 is Middle School (Classes VI-VIII), and Varg 1 is High School. Varg 3 mirrors CTET Paper 1's 5-section structure, but with 1/4 negative marking, which CTET does not have.
