The unending wait for the CTET 2022 result is still going on without any official update from CBSE. As per a notification, the tentative date on which the results were expected to be out was February 15. It has been six days since the tentative date and the results are not yet out. Amid all these, another confusion that has emerged is when the CTET 2022 final official answer key will be released. CBSE had already released the provisional answer keys and candidates were given the facility to submit challenges against the same via the official website – ctet.nic.in.
When will the final answer keys be released?
It is difficult to ascertain a fixed date on which the final answer key will be out since the results can be released at any time. However, an assumption can only be made as to whether the final answer key will be released along with the results or not. To address the query, let’s take a look at the previous trends.
| Year | Exam Date | Answer Key Date | Final Answer Key Date | Result Date |
| 2021 | December 16, 2021 | February 11, 2022 | Expected | Expected |
| 2019 | December 08, 2019 | December 23, 2019 | December 30, 2019 | December 27, 2019 |
| 2018 | December 09, 2018 | December 30, 2018 | December 31, 2018 | January 04, 2019 |
| 2017 | – | – | – | – |
| 2016 | September 18, 2016 | October 15, 2016 | – | November 07, 2016 |
As per the data available, in 2019, the final answer key was released three days after the CTET results were declared. If we go by this trend, then it seems likely that the final and official answer keys will be released after the results are declared.
The CTET results are declared based on the final answer key. This answer key is prepared after a thorough review of the objections against the provisional answer key. After the declaration of the result, no grievance will be accepted against the answer key. As such, it is expected that the final answer key will be released on or after the declaration of the result.
Certificate & Marksheet
CBSE will be issuing mark sheets to all candidates who have appeared for the CTET 2022 examination. However, the eligibility certificates will only be issued to successful candidates. The certificate will be available in digital format on the candidate’s DigiLocker account. Relevant account details will be generated and sent to the candidates in due time. Using the communicated credentials, candidates will be able to download the mark sheets and eligibility certificates. The final answer key needs to be accessed from the official website – ctet.nic.in.
