CTET answer key out now: How to check
CBSE just dropped the provisional answer key for the CTET February 2026 exams, which happened on February 7 and 8 across 140 cities.
If you took Paper I (for Classes I-V) or Paper II (for Classes VI-VIII), you can now check your answers and see your response sheet online.
How to download answer key
Head over to ctet.nic.in, log in with your roll number and date of birth (or registration ID and password, as applicable), and download the answer key PDF.
Not happy with any answer? You've got a short window (just two to three days) to raise objections by paying ₹1,000 per question (with proof).
So if something feels off, don't wait!
No negative marking
Scoring is simple: one mark for every right answer, no negative marking.
After reviewing all challenges from students, CBSE will finalize the answer key and announce results based on that.
Good luck!
