CTET December 2021 Paper 1 Hindi Medium Answer Key: Final Key on the Official Site

Short answer: the CTET December 2021 Answer Key Paper 1 Hindi Medium is listed on the official CTET website under Previous Year Final Answer Key. It is a historical, completed-event document, so it is a final key rather than a provisional one. The listing page and the PDF do not state any objection window or fee, so this post gives no objection procedure for it.

Key facts at a glance

Is the answer key provisional or final?

The entry sits on the page headed Previous Year Final Answer Key, which is the basis for calling it final. The PDF does not use the word "final" itself. Because the event is long completed and no provisional-key notice was supplied, no objection or challenge process applies to what the evidence shows. This page does not describe one.

How to view the answer key

Step by step

1. Open the official Previous Year Final Answer Key page on ctet.nic.in (linked under Important Links).
2. Find the row titled "CTET December 2021 Answer Key Paper 1 Hindi Medium" under the year 2021.
3. Use the "View" option in the Accessible Version column. A download icon is shown beside it.

The key is a public PDF, and the evidence shows no login step. The listing page showed a last-updated date of 29 September 2026 when reviewed. That does not guarantee the file stays available, so use the official page to confirm access.

How the PDF is organised

The PDF is long (177 pages), and the part reviewed for this post was cut off partway through. It is arranged by exam date and then by section, in a two-column layout of question number (QNO) and answer (ANS).

• Exam dates seen: 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 27 December 2021. Later pages may cover more dates, but they were not in the reviewed text.
• Main section: each date starts with a "PAPER-I -MAIN" table covering questions 1 to 90.
• Language sections: questions 91 to 150 are given in separate tables by language, such as English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Sanskrit and Urdu. Not every language appears on every date in the reviewed pages.

To check your responses, match your exam date and the language section you attempted. Then compare question numbers one by one.

Reading special entries

• Answer "9": the PDF states that an answer key of 9 means marks are awarded to all candidates for that question.
• More than one option: some questions list several options, such as "1,2,3" or "1,2". These appear as printed in the key.

The evidence does not explain why a given question was marked this way, so do not assume a reason.

Objection window and fee

Neither the listing page nor the reviewed part of the PDF gives an objection window, a fee or a challenge procedure. This is an evidence gap, not confirmation that none existed. Any process tied to an earlier provisional key is outside the supplied material.

What this post does not cover

• It does not cover Paper 2, or the English Medium keys for the same cycle, which are separate entries on the listing.
• It does not reproduce answers. Use the official PDF for those.
• The shift or session structure of the December 2021 exam is not described in the evidence.
