CTET 2026 answer keys for Paper 1 and Paper 2 are expected to be released soon by the Central Board of Secondary Education on the official website ctet.nic.in. As of now, CBSE has not issued any official notification confirming the release date of the provisional answer key. Once made available, the answer key will help candidates review their performance and estimate tentative scores ahead of the result declaration.
CTET 2026 Objection Window and Challenge Guidelines
CBSE is expected to activate an online objection window after releasing the provisional answer key. During this period, candidates will be allowed to challenge answers they believe are incorrect. Key points related to the objection process include:
- Objections must be submitted through the official portal only
- Each challenge should include academic justification
- A non-refundable fee per question may be applicable
- Valid objections will be reflected in the final answer key
Requests submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
CTET 2026 Exam Pattern and Evaluation Method
The Central Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 was conducted in offline mode using OMR sheets. Both Paper 1 and Paper 2 consisted of multiple-choice questions, with one mark awarded for each correct answer and no negative marking. Each paper assessed candidates on:
- Child Development and Pedagogy
- Language proficiency
- Subject-specific knowledge
This structure enables candidates to calculate expected scores accurately once the answer key is released.
CTET Result 2026 and Qualifying Requirements
CBSE will release the final CTET 2026 answer key after reviewing all objections. The CTET result will be prepared strictly on the basis of this finalised version. Candidates who meet the prescribed qualifying marks will receive CTET eligibility certificates, which are valid for teacher recruitment in central government schools and other CTET-recognised institutions.
