The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 on 7 and 8 February 2026 across multiple exam centres. After the completion of the examination, candidates can access the CTET Answer Key 2026 to evaluate their performance before the official result declaration.
The answer key enables candidates to verify responses, calculate expected scores, and raise objections in case of discrepancies. CBSE releases a provisional answer key first, followed by the final answer key after reviewing all valid challenges.
The CTET Answer Key 2026 is an official document released by CBSE containing the correct answers for all questions asked in Paper 1 (Primary Level) and Paper 2 (Upper Primary Level) conducted on both exam days.
