CBSE is expected to release the CTET February 2026 provisional answer key for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 soon at ctet.nic.in. Candidates will be able to download the answer key using their login credentials and raise objections online before the stipulated deadline. The final answer key will be issued after verification of challenges.
The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 provisional answer key for the February session is anticipated shortly on the official website ctet.nic.in. The 21st edition of the CTET exam was conducted on 7 and 8 February 2026, and candidates who appeared in both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are awaiting the official answer key release. As of now, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has not published the official provisional answer key, but it is expected to be announced at any time. Once released, the answer key will be accompanied by an objection link, enabling candidates to challenge any responses they believe are incorrect.
