The Board of Secondary Education, Odisha (BSE Odisha) is preparing to release the answer key and response sheet PDFs for the Odisha Secondary School Teacher Eligibility Test (OSSTET) 2026. Candidates who appeared for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will soon be able to download these documents from the official website bseodisha.nic.in.
What the OSSTET Answer Key Includes?
Once published, the provisional OSSTET 2026 answer key PDFs will contain the correct answers to questions asked in the exam for each paper. The response sheet PDFs will show the answers that candidates marked during their test. These documents help aspirants to:
- Estimate their tentative scores by comparing marked answers with the official key.
- Identify discrepancies between their responses and standard answers.
- Prepare for possible result outcomes ahead of the official announcement.
The availability of response sheets is particularly useful as it lets candidates see their own exam responses alongside the official key once both are live.
How to Download OSSTET 2026 Answer Key and Response Sheet?
Candidates should follow these steps once the links are activated on the official portal:
- Go to the official BSE Odisha website: bseodisha.nic.in.
- Find the OSSTET 2026 answer key/response sheet link under the examination section.
- Click on the relevant Paper 1 or Paper 2 PDF link.
- Download the key and response sheet to check answers and calculate estimated scores.
Applicants are advised to save the downloaded PDFs for future reference ahead of merit list or result publication.
Objections and Next Steps
Once the provisional answer keys and response sheets are published, BSE Odisha may also provide a window to submit objections for any perceived discrepancies. If a challenge facility is opened, candidates will usually be able to:
- Raise objections online through the official portal.
- Provide supporting evidence for the challenged answers within a specified period.
- Await revision of the key before the final answer key and results are declared.
Exact details on the objection process and timelines will be released alongside the answer key announcement.
What Comes After the Answer Key?
After the provisional answer key and challenge window (if any), BSE Odisha will compile feedback and release the final answer key. Following that, the OSSTET 2026 result — including qualified candidates’ names and merit lists — will be published on the official website.vCandidates are encouraged to regularly check bseodisha.nic.in for the latest updates on answer key release, objection dates, and result declaration.
