Odisha OTET Result 2026 Declared: Check Scorecard at bseodisha.ac.in

The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha has declared the result of the Odisha Teacher Eligibility Test (OTET) 2026, the qualifying test for candidates aspiring to teach in primary and upper-primary schools across the state. The result covers both Paper 1 (for classes I to V) and Paper 2 (for classes VI to VIII). Over 1.06 lakh candidates have cleared the test this year, recording an overall pass percentage of close to 69 percent. Passing OTET does not guarantee a teaching job by itself, but it is a mandatory eligibility requirement for candidates applying to teacher recruitment drives conducted by the Odisha government and its school education bodies. Candidates can view their individual result and download their scorecard by logging into the official BSE Odisha portal with their registration details. The scorecard shows subject-wise marks and the qualifying status, and successful candidates should download and safely retain it, since it is typically required at the time of applying for teacher recruitment posts. Candidates who do not clear the test this attempt can reappear in a future OTET cycle, as the test is held periodically to keep the pool of eligible teaching candidates current.
