The CTET Answer Key 2026 for the February session will be released soon on ctet.nic.in by CBSE. Candidates can check provisional answers, download OMR sheets, raise objections, and understand the CTET marking scheme before the final result is declared.
The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 February session answer key is expected to be released shortly on the official website. The exam is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Once published, candidates will be able to download the provisional answer key and scanned OMR answer sheets from ctet.nic.in. The CTET February 2026 examination was conducted on February 7 and February 8, 2026, across more than 140 cities nationwide. The test was held for Paper 1 (Classes 1 to 5) and Paper 2 (Classes 6 to 8).
CTET Answer Key 2026: Latest Updates
CBSE will release the following documents along with the answer key:
- Provisional CTET Answer Key 2026
- Scanned images of OMR answer sheets
- Question papers with recorded responses
After reviewing objections submitted by candidates, CBSE will release the final CTET answer key, followed by the declaration of results. It is important to note that CTET Paper 2 was cancelled at two exam centres in Vaishali (Hajipur), Bihar, due to unavoidable circumstances. CBSE has announced that the re-examination for affected candidates will be conducted within 15 days, and the revised schedule will be shared separately.
CTET Marking Scheme 2026
Candidates checking the CTET answer key should be aware of the official marking scheme:
- +1 mark for each correct answer
- No negative marking for incorrect answers
- No deduction for unanswered questions
- Each paper contains 150 multiple-choice questions (MCQs)
- Maximum marks per paper: 150
The absence of negative marking allows candidates to attempt all questions without any risk of losing marks.
CTET Answer Key Objection Process
Once the provisional answer key is released, candidates can challenge it by:
- Logging in at ctet.nic.in
- Selecting the question(s) they wish to challenge
- Uploading valid supporting documents
- Paying the prescribed objection fee, if applicable
CBSE will carefully evaluate all objections before finalising the answer key.
