The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the CTET Answer Key 2026 shortly. Candidates who appeared for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) February 2026 can soon check the provisional answer key and download their OMR response sheets once they are uploaded on the official CTET portal.

When the answer key is published:
- Candidates will be able to download the CTET 2026 provisional answer key, which contains official answer solutions for all sets of question papers used in the exam.
- The corresponding OMR response sheet for each candidate will be made available for download, allowing aspirants to match their own marked answers.
- This preliminary key will help aspirants estimate their likely scores ahead of the final result.
