CTET 2026 Provisional Answer Key Expected Soon as CBSE Prepares Objection Window

CBSE will pair the provisional answers with OMR images, then open a short paid challenge window ahead of the final key.

Overview

  • Media reports indicate the provisional key and response sheets will be posted in the third or fourth week of February on ctet.nic.in, with no exact time announced by CBSE.
  • Candidates will be able to view provisional responses alongside scanned images of their OMR sheets to estimate scores before results.
  • An online objection window will open shortly after release and is expected to remain active for about two to three days.
  • Challenges must be submitted through the CTET portal with supporting documents and a non-refundable ₹1,000 fee per question, and unpaid objections will not be considered.
  • Subject experts will review all valid challenges to finalize the answer key, which will then form the basis for the official results.
