HPBOSE Releases Provisional Answer Key for DElEd CET 2026
The Himachal Pradesh School Education Board (HPBOSE) has officially released the provisional answer key for the two-year Diploma in Elementary Education Common Entrance Test (DElEd CET) 2026. Candidates who appeared for the examination can now visit the board’s official website to download the answer key and cross-check their responses against the provided solutions.
Deadline for Submitting Objections
Candidates who find discrepancies in any of the answers listed in the provisional answer key have the opportunity to raise objections. The board has set a clear deadline for this process — all challenges must be submitted by July 11, 2026. Any objection received after this date will not be entertained under any circumstances.
It is important to note that objections must be accompanied by supporting evidence or references to substantiate the claim. Submissions without proper documentation may not be considered by the board during the review process.
How to File an Objection
There are two convenient ways for candidates to register their objections against the provisional answer key:
- Send an email to the designated address with the details of the disputed question and supporting proof
- Visit the HPBOSE office in person on any working day before the deadline and submit the objection physically
Regardless of the method chosen, candidates are advised to keep a copy of their submission for future reference and ensure that all communication includes their registration details for proper identification.
What Happens After Objections Are Reviewed
Once the objection window closes, the board will compile all received challenges and forward them to subject matter experts for thorough evaluation. These specialists will examine each disputed question carefully, considering the evidence provided by candidates. After the review process is completed, the final answer key will be published on the official website. The results of the DElEd CET 2026 will then be prepared based on this final version of the answer key.
Examination Details
The DElEd CET 2026 was conducted on June 17, 2026, for admission into the two-year teacher training program offered across various institutions in Himachal Pradesh. A significant number of aspiring educators participated in this entrance examination, competing for limited seats in the program.
