The CTET February examination was held on February 7 and 8, 2026.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has not yet released the CTET Answer Key 2026. Candidates who appeared for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test will be able to access the provisional answer key on the official website ctet.nic.in once it is published.
The CTET February 2026 examination was conducted on February 7 and 8 across the country. The test was held in two shifts, the morning session from 9.30 am to 12 noon and the afternoon session from 2.30 pm to 5 pm. The exam took place in 140 cities nationwide.
After releasing the provisional answer key, CBSE is expected to open a window for candidates to raise objections. The keys are likely to remain available for two to three days so that candidates can challenge any answer they are not satisfied with. To submit a challenge, candidates will have to pay a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 1,000 per question.
Only objections submitted within the given time and with payment of the fee will be accepted. Challenges sent through any other mode such as email, letter or representation, will not be considered.
