CTET 2024: CBSE will provide provisional answer key for January 2024
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) on January 21. The official CTET website, ctet.nic.in, provides candidates with access to the provisional answer key.
At this time, CBSE has not officially shared the specific release dates for the answer key and results. But it is expected that the tentative answer key can now be made accessible at any time. Once released, applicants will be given the opportunity to challenge any discrepancies before the final results are announced.
The CTET results should be out by February 15. Significantly, the CTET is held twice a year, with the next session scheduled for April 2024.

After the CTET answer key is released, candidates who want to check it can do so by visiting the official CTET website (ctet.nic.in). Candidates will find a link to the CTET 2024 provisional answer keys on the homepage. Clicking on this link will open a new page where applicants can enter their login details to access the answer key.
Once confirmed, the answer key will be displayed on the screen for applicants to view. It is suggested to download the answer key and keep a printout for later.
In a major development, the CTET mark sheet and eligibility certificate will be open on DigiLocker.
