CBSE Announces Key Facility for CTET 2026 Candidates: OMR and Calculation Sheet Access
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a significant notification for all individuals who participated in the Central Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 (CTET). Following the declaration of the CTET 2026 results, the board has now introduced a provision enabling candidates to formally request their calculation sheet along with a duplicate copy of their OMR answer sheet.
CTET 2026 Result Declaration and Background
CBSE officially declared the CTET Result 2026 on March 30, 2026, through its dedicated portal, ctet.nic.in. Examinees can access their digital scorecards by entering their roll number and date of birth. This result announcement came after the board meticulously concluded the comprehensive answer key review procedure. Prior to this, CBSE had publicly displayed scanned OMR sheets and provisional answer keys, actively soliciting and addressing objections from candidates nationwide.
The CTET 2026 examination was administered across India on February 7 and 8, 2026, witnessing an overwhelming registration of over 2.5 million aspiring teachers. The test was structured into two distinct papers: Paper 1 for candidates aiming to teach Classes 1 to 5, and Paper 2 for those targeting Classes 6 to 8.
Detailed Procedure to Request OMR Sheet and Calculation Sheet
Candidates desiring to obtain their OMR sheet and calculation sheet must submit a formal application accompanied by a non-refundable fee of Rs 500. This payment must be made exclusively via a Bank Draft drawn in favor of Secretary, CBSE, and payable at Delhi. The application must clearly mention the candidate's roll number, full name, and complete postal address. These identical details should also be legibly written on the reverse side of the bank draft to ensure proper processing.
Submission Address and Mode
All applications must be directed to:
- Director CTET
- CTET Unit, CBSE Integrated Office Complex
- Sector-23, Phase-1, Dwarka
- New Delhi - 110077
Applications can be dispatched through speed post or submitted in person at the designated office. It is crucial to note that the deadline for receipt is May 1, 2026. Any applications received after this date will not be entertained under any circumstances.
Essential Guidelines and Instructions
- Applications submitted after the May 1, 2026 deadline will be summarily rejected.
- Incomplete applications or those lacking the requisite fee will not be processed.
- OMR sheets and calculation sheets will be dispatched solely to individual candidates via speed post.
- Requests from educational institutions, media organizations, or third parties will not be accepted.
- Candidates who may have applied earlier through other channels must reapply with the specified fee to avail this facility.
- The board has explicitly stated that the decision of the competent authority regarding all applications will be final and binding.
CBSE strongly advises all interested candidates to ensure their applications are complete and submitted well within the stipulated deadline to successfully obtain their CTET 2026 calculation sheet and OMR copy. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and provide candidates with detailed insights into their performance evaluation.
