Odisha releases provisional OSSTET 2026 answer key; objections invited

The Board of Secondary Education, Odisha (BSEO) has released the provisional answer key for OSSTET 2026 on its official website, bseodisha.nic.in. The move follows the completion of the examination and allows candidates to review the answers before the final key is prepared.

All test-takers are entitled to raise objections against any answers they believe are incorrect. The objection period will remain open until October 17, providing candidates with a reasonable timeframe to scrutinize the provisional key and lodge formal challenges if necessary.

Candidates can access the answer key through the board's official portal by logging in with their credentials. Detailed instructions for downloading the key and filing objections have been made available on the website, guiding applicants through the process step by step.

The OSSTET examination is conducted annually to identify eligible candidates for teaching positions in Odisha's secondary schools. After the objection period concludes, the board is expected to review all submitted challenges and release the final answer key, which will be used for evaluating candidate performance and determining results.
