CTET 2021: Know the difference between response sheet and answer key

CTET Response Sheet

The CTET 2021 response sheet is of great help when it comes to knowing the total marks scored in the written examination. The response sheet is the sheet that displays all the answers marked by the candidates in the paper. Candidates can use this to tally the answers marked in it with the official CTET answer key, as and when the latter is released.

How to use the response sheet?

Next, use the marking scheme as released by the board earlier, i.e. 1 mark for correct answer and leaving the wrong or unattempted questions. After adding the correct answers, candidates will get the tentative marks scored in the CTET examination. In order to know, if they stand in the final race of qualifying for the exam, the board has notified the minimum qualifying marks. As per that, unreserved candidates have to score 60% of the total marks and reserved category candidates have to score 55% of the total marks to pass the exam.
