The Department of School Education (DSE), Telangana, will soon release the provisional answer key for the Telangana Teacher Eligibility Test (TG TET) 2026. This important key is expected to be available on or after January 25, 2026 . Candidates who appeared for the TG TET January 2026 examination can use this key to check their answers. The exam for the January session concluded on January 20, 2026 . The TG TET is a state-level test that determines if candidates are eligible to teach in Classes 1 to 8 across Telangana schools. All updates, including the answer key, will be published on the official website, tgtet.aptonline.in .
The answer key lists the correct answers to all questions asked in the TG TET exam. It helps candidates estimate their scores before the official results are declared. Initially, a 'provisional' answer key is released. This allows candidates to review the answers and raise objections if they find any errors. After considering all valid objections, the DSE will release a 'final' answer key. The official TG TET 2026 results will be based on this final answer key.

Past Trends: TG TET Answer Key Release
Understanding when the answer keys were released in previous years can help candidates gauge the expected timeline for the current year. Here are the trends from the last three TG TET examinations:
| Examination Year | TG TET Exam Date | TG TET Answer Key Release Date |
| 2025 | January 2 to 20, 2025 | January 24, 2025 |
| 2024 | January 1 to 10, 2024 | January 25, 2024 |
| 2023 | September 15, 2023 | September 20, 2023 |
Analysing the Trends
The historical data shows varying release patterns. In 2025 , the answer key came out just 4 days after the exam concluded. Similarly, in 2023 , the key was released within 5 days of the exam. However, in 2024 , there was a longer gap of 15 days between the end of the exam and the answer key release. This indicates that while the DSE often releases the key quickly, there can sometimes be a slightly longer waiting period. For the TG TET January 2026 session, the expected release on or after January 25, 2026 , falls within these past trends, suggesting candidates should check the official website regularly from that date onwards.
Next Steps for Candidates
After the provisional answer key and the objection period, the DSE will release the final answer key. This will be followed by the announcement of the TG TET 2026 results. Both the final answer key and the results are expected to be available in February 2026 . Candidates should keep visiting the official TG TET website for the latest announcements and updates.
