CTET Aug 2023 Paper 1 Final Answer Key: Status and How to View the Official PDF

The official CTET Aug 2023 Paper 1 answer key is a final key, not a provisional one. The PDF is headed "CTET AUG-2023 Final KEY" with exam date 20/08/2023, and the CTET website lists it under "Previous Year Final Answer Key". The evidence reviewed states no objection window and no objection fee for this key, so none is given here.

CTET Aug 2023 Paper 1 answer key at a glance

Is this answer key provisional or final?

It is final. The header on each page of the PDF reads "CTET AUG-2023 Final KEY EXAM-20/08/2023", and the listing page places it in the previous-year final answer key section. The evidence does not include a separate provisional key for this exam, so this page does not compare the two.

Release date

The listing shows the entry only by title and year (2023). It gives no release date for this key. This page therefore does not state one. The listing page itself shows "Last Updated: Sep 29, 2026", but that is a page-level update date, not the release date of this key.

How to view the Paper 1 final key

1. Open the "Previous Year Final Answer Key" page on ctet.nic.in.
2. Find the row titled "CTET Aug23 Answer Key P1" under the year 2023.
3. Use the "View" link in the Accessible Version column to open the PDF. A separate download icon sits next to it.

The PDF is a public file, and the evidence shows no login step for it. This page does not confirm that the file is still open today. Check the official listing for its current state.

What the PDF contains

The key is organised by question paper set, with a question number and answer for each question.

• Sets A, B, C and D each appear for the main Paper I section, covering questions 1 to 90.
• Language sections for the same sets cover questions 91 to 150. The portion of the document reviewed shows English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Garo and Gujarati, and the file continues beyond that. The remaining sections were not available for review here, so this page does not list them.

Reading letter answers

Most answers are option numbers 1 to 4. A few entries show a letter instead, such as Set A question 40 and Set B question 53. The legend printed on each page maps these letters to combinations of options: A = 1,2; B = 1,3; C = 1,4; D = 2,3; E = 2,4; F = 3,4; Z = all. Match your question paper set (A, B, C or D) before comparing answers.

Objections and fees

The evidence reviewed gives no objection window, objection procedure or fee for this key. Because it is labelled final, this page does not describe a challenge process. If you think an answer is wrong, check the CTET website for any official instruction rather than relying on a process this page cannot confirm.
