Will the CTET 2022 Answer Key release before result?
After the release of question paper with marked responses, candidates are incessantly asking another question – what will release the first-answer key or result? Right now, it is hard to predict what the central education board has in-store for the candidates. Usually, the official answer key is released first followed by the result. However, on some occasions, the opposite has occurred. So, neither possibility can be discounted. Based on the sequence of events, candidates can expect the answer key and results to come out in the next two weeks.
CBSE conducted the CTET 2022 examination from December 16, 2021, to January 23, 202, at selected centers across the country. Candidates had to appear for the test through the computer-based test (CBT) wherein they will have to identify and mark the right responses on the screen. The eligibility test was held in the form of two papers – Paper I and Paper II. While the former was held for those interested in teaching Class 1-5, the latter was conducted for candidates interested in teaching Class 6-8.
