Where to download the KARTET Answer Key 2025 (official links)
To ensure you use the authentic key, always download from the Department of School Education (Karnataka) portal or the dedicated TET portal:
Official TET portal (STS Karnataka) — direct PDF and login pages for KARTET resources.
School Education Department (schooleducation.karnataka.gov.in) — official circulars and notices about KARTET.
(News portals and exam portals have mirrored the PDFs — use them for quick reading but cross-verify with the official PDF.)
Step-by-step: How to download the answer key
Visit the official TET page: https://sts.karnataka.gov.in/TET/ or the School Education Department site.
Look for the link labeled “KARTET-2025 Key Answers” or KARTET-2025_KeyAnswers.pdf.
Click the relevant link for Paper 1 or Paper 2 (ensure you choose the correct question paper series/set).
Download the PDF and save a local copy for cross-checking.
How to calculate your estimated score (simple method)
Each correct answer = 1 mark (confirm marking scheme on official notification).
No negative marking for incorrect answers (verify from the official notification if in doubt).
Example: If Paper-1 has 150 questions and you marked 110 correct → Estimated score = 110/150.
Tip: Always compare the answers with the same question paper series (set code/series) as printed on your OMR/answer sheet. Several portals have set-wise unofficial keys; still, official key is the final reference.
How to raise objections (official process)
Read the provisional key carefully and note any question numbers you wish to challenge.
Collect documentary or authoritative references supporting your objection (textbook excerpts, NCERT citations, etc.).
Go to the objection portal link provided on the official STS/TET
page and submit your objection before the deadline. Fees (if any) and format will be listed on the portal.
Important: Keep screenshots and the acknowledgement number of your submission. The exam authority reviews objections and publishes a final key after consideration; results are prepared based on that final key
What to expect next
After objections are reviewed, authorities will issue a final answer key. Results are typically declared after this step (expect results in the following weeks — many sources indicate a January 2026 timeline for results).
Conclusion
The release of the KARTET Answer Key 2025 is your first opportunity to check performance and plan next steps. Download the official key from the STS/School Education portals, calculate your tentative marks carefully (match series), and file objections promptly if necessary. Keep your proof handy and monitor the official site for the final key and the result announcement. Good luck — and remember: the provisional key is a checkpoint, not the final verdict.
