OTET Tentative Answer Key 2025: Objection window
Aspirants can file objections to the tentative answer key within the timeframe. Each objection may demand supporting documentation and an objection fee. The Board considers legitimate complaints and publishes the final answer key, which serves as the foundation for the official result. The board will release the dates for the objection window.
Why is the OTET certificate important?
The Odisha Teacher Eligibility Test (OTET) certificate is valid for a lifetime from the date of issuance. Applicants who pass the OTET are entitled to submit applications for teaching posts in government, private, and aided schools throughout Odisha for Classes I-VIII, depending on whether they passed Paper 1 or 2. Unlike some other state TET tests, which have a limited validity time, the OTET certificate does not need renewal or revalidation.
Applicants are recommended to keep the certificate safe, as it is the official proof of qualification and will be checked by authorities during the teacher recruiting process.
