CTET August 2023 Paper 2 Final Answer Key: What the Official PDF Contains

The CTET August 2023 Paper 2 answer key on the official CTET website is a final key, not a provisional one. The PDF header reads "CTET AUG-2023 Final KEY EXAM-20/08/2023", and the file sits on the page titled "Previous Year Final Answer Key". No objection window or fee is stated in the evidence, and a final key has no objection procedure to follow.

Quick facts about this answer key

Is the CTET Aug 2023 Paper 2 key provisional or final?

The label on the document

Every page header of the PDF says "Final KEY". The listing page that hosts it is titled "Previous Year Final Answer Key". Both point to the same conclusion: this is the final key for the Paper II session, and it is not a draft for candidates to challenge.

What this means for objections

The evidence describes no objection process for this key. It gives no challenge window, no per-question fee and no submission portal. Do not rely on any website claiming a current objection route for the August 2023 key. If you need a rule on re-evaluation or grievances, check the official CTET information bulletin or notices. The material reviewed here does not cover them.

How to view the official answer key

The answer key is a public PDF. The evidence shows no login step, and none should be assumed.

1. Open the official "Previous Year Final Answer Key" page on ctet.nic.in.
2. Find the row titled "CTET Aug23 Answer Key P2" under the year 2023. A separate row for Paper 1 sits just below it, so check you have picked the Paper 2 file.
3. Choose the view option beside the accessible version. A download icon is also shown in the same row.

The links in the Important Links section of this page open the same Paper II PDF and the official listing. This page cannot confirm that the file will always remain available. If a link fails, use the listing page on the official site.

How the Paper II PDF is organised

Sets and sections

In the part of the PDF reviewed, answers are given set by set, with Sets E, F, G and H each appearing for every section. Each page header names the set and the section.

• Questions 1–90: sections headed Maths & Science and Social Studies (the PDF's "MAT.&SCI" and "SOC." headings).
• Questions 91–150: language sections. The reviewed portion shows English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali and the start of Garo. The text supplied was cut off partway through the Garo pages, so this page cannot confirm every language section in the full file.

Match your question booklet's set code to the set heading before comparing answers. The same question number has a different answer in different sets, so using the wrong set will give a wrong score.

Reading entries that show a letter

Most answers are option numbers from 1 to 4. A few entries show a letter instead. The legend printed at the foot of each page explains them:

A letter means the final key accepts more than one option for that question. This explanation comes from the legend. The evidence does not say why a particular question was treated this way.

Release date and what is not established

As of 4 October 2026, this is a completed, historical publication. The evidence does not give the original release date of the final key. The PDF gives only the exam date (20/08/2023). The listing page's "Last Updated" line of 29 September 2026 refers to the page, not to this key. The file's storage path falls under a 2023/09 folder, but that is not an announced release date, so none is claimed here.

The evidence also does not cover score calculation, marking scheme, result dates or qualifying criteria for this session. Treat the key as a reference for answers only.

FAQ

Can I raise an objection to the CTET Aug 2023 Paper 2 final key?

The evidence mentions no objection facility, window or fee for this key. It is labelled final, so do not assume a challenge route exists.

Is the Paper 1 key in the same file?

No. The official listing shows separate rows for Paper 1 and Paper 2. This page covers only the Paper 2 file.
