OSSTET Answer Key 2026 Out - Know Objection Rules and Result Process by BSE Odisha

The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, has published the provisional answer key for the Odisha Secondary School Teacher Eligibility Test (OSSTET) 2026. Candidates who appeared for the examination held on September 30, 2026, can access and download the answer key from the board’s official website, bseodisha.nic.in. On the homepage, they should look for and select the link for the OSSTET 2026 provisional answer key. They must then choose the relevant subject and paper set corresponding to the examination they appeared for. Once the appropriate link is selected, the answer key will be displayed on the screen.

The provisional key allows candidates to compare their responses with the answers provided by the board and estimate their probable scores before the results are announced. Applicants who identify discrepancies in any of the answers can submit objections online until October 17, 2026, by following the prescribed procedure.

Candidates challenging an answer in the provisional key must pay an objection fee of ₹500 for each response they wish to dispute. They are also required to submit valid supporting documents or evidence to substantiate their claims. The board will examine the objections received within the stipulated period, and the fee paid for a challenge will be refunded in full if the objection is found to be valid.

Challenges sent through offline modes will also be rejected, making it necessary for candidates to complete the entire objection process online within the specified deadline. After the objection submission period ends, the board will assess the challenges received from candidates. Once the review process is complete, BSE Odisha will publish the final OSSTET 2026 answer key. The final key will serve as the basis for preparing the OSSTET result 2026.
