Important Instructions

• This is the final answer key, meaning the objection/challenge window (if one was offered) has already closed for this phase; CBSE's official notice for each phase should be checked to confirm this.
• Always download official documents only from cbse.gov.in or the linked examinationservices.nic.in portal. Do not rely on unofficial websites or forwarded files for the answer key.
• Answer keys are released phase-wise because the recruitment drive covers a large number of posts and shifts; if your post is not listed in the current phase, check subsequent phases as CBSE continues to release them.
• Keep your registration number and login credentials ready if you plan to check your individual result or response sheet on the examination portal.
• For any discrepancy or query specific to your application, use the official contact details published in the recruitment notification rather than third-party sources.
