The Telangana State Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 (TS TET 2026) update is regarding the initial answer keys and the individual response sheets which have been made available to candidates who sat for the January exam. This is one of the major post-exam updates since candidates can use the initial answer sheets to cross check the answers they provided on the test to see if there are any discrepancies on the provisional answer key and provide a rebuttal should they feel the need to do so.
In teaching positions in Telangana, one of the key exams required is the TS TET. The response sheets and answer keys released are yet another opportunity for candidates to evaluate their answer as well as bring the assessment process to a fairer level before the results are finalized.
What are the response sheets and answer keys for the TS TET
Contents
There are two primary documents that the TS TET 2026 examiners provide after the exam has been fully completed: the response sheet, and the answer key. The response sheet displays the answers which the examinee has provided for each individual question, and the answer key provides which of the answers are correct.
With the help of these two documents, each candidate is able to provide an almost exact score to themselves and determine if they would pass or fail the exam.
Key Points:
* The answer sheets contain the answers you’ve marked.
* The answer key contains the official answers.
* It aids in determining a predicted score.
* It pertains to Paper I and Paper II.
* The TS TET 2026 Exam took place in January.
The TS TET 2026 examination took place over a number of days in January for all of the candidates who wish to become educators for primary and upper-primary level government schools in Telangana.

Here’s how to download your answer sheets:

- Objection Window for TS TET Answer Key
Since answer keys are provisional, students can object and challenge any answer they think is incorrect. This window is only open for a few days after the answer key is posted, so be sure to do this quickly!
Objections should be justified and warranted. You can be confident and entitled to reference to back your answers.
- Issues with TS Tet Response Sheet
- Objections can be made until February 1, 2026
- Each objection must include a legitimate explanation or reference.
- There may be a fee associated with each objection.
- Objections submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
Estimating Your Score
Using the answer sheet and answer key, candidates can calculate their own scores. Typically, TS TET has a simple scoring system. For each correct answer, candidates earn points. There are no points deducted for incorrect answers.
Steps to Calculate Your Score
1. Compare your responses with the answer key.
2. Award points for answers that are correct.
3. Add all the points together to calculate your score.
What to Expect After the Objection Window Closes
Once the deadline for objections has passed, the relevant authorities will look at the objections submitted by the candidates. If one or more objections are accepted, the relevant answer key will be adjusted, and a new final answer key will be issued.
The final score for TS TET will be based on the updated answer key.
The Process Moving Forward
1. Evaluation of objections by the relevant authorities.
2. Issuance of the final answer key.
3. Announcement of the TS TET score.
Candidates are encouraged to take full advantage of the answer sheet and answer key. Be thorough when cross-checking your answers and calculating your score, and submit objections only when absolutely necessary. Being proactive and alert during this phase can help tremendously before the final results are out.
