For candidates who could not secure the minimum qualifying marks, this is not the end of the road. OTET is conducted annually, and candidates are eligible to reappear in the next examination cycle. The board is expected to announce the schedule for OTET 2026 (December cycle) later this year.
With the declaration of OTET Result 2026, nearly 1.10 lakh candidates have successfully cleared the eligibility test and are now one step closer to their teaching careers. The pass percentage of 68.97% reflects a competitive yet fair evaluation by the board.
