CTET Answer Key 2026: The CTET answer key and response sheets for both papers will be available for download on the official website very soon. Candidates who appeared for the exam are eagerly awaiting their answer keys, as they will help them estimate their scores. In previous sessions, provisional answer keys were released within 15 days of the exam. Based on this trend, the answer keys and response sheets are expected to be released today or in the first week of March.

After the release of the answer keys, candidates will have the opportunity to raise objections to the provisional answer keys. The Central Board of Secondary Education will first review the submitted challenges and then publish a revised final answer key. Results will be prepared based on this final key.

Note that on February 7, Paper 2 was cancelled at some exam centres in the Vaishali district due to administrative issues. This forced the exam to be cancelled midway. Admit cards for the exam have also been issued.

The board had conducted two papers on February 7 and 8 in 140 cities across the country for candidates aspiring to teach classes 1 to 5 and classes 6 to 8.
