CTET February 2026 answer key expected soon: Here's how to download
CBSE is expected to release the provisional answer key for the CTET February 2026 exam soon.
The test was held on February 7 and 8, with a re-exam for affected Bihar centers to be held within 15 days (exact date to be communicated).
Once it is out, you will find it at ctet.nic.in.
How to download answer key, response sheets
Just log in at ctet.nic.in with your application details to grab the answer key and your response sheet.
If something looks off, you can challenge any answer (with proof) within a couple of days.
After CBSE reviews all objections, it will put out the final version.
Paper 2 re-exam for affected Bihar centers
Paper 2 got canceled at two Bihar centers due to issues, so those students will be re-examined within 15 days (exact date to be communicated), which delayed this answer key drop for everyone else.
Use the key to estimate your score; General category candidates need 60% (90/150) to qualify; reserved-category/PwD candidates have a lower qualifying mark (commonly 55% / 82/150).
If you were allotted one of the two affected Vaishali (Hajipur) centers and are scheduled to sit the re-exam, confirm that your re-exam attempt is reflected in your records before results are announced.
