PSTET Official Answer Key vs Unofficial Answer Keys
The PSTET official answer key will be released by SCERT Punjab on 16th March 2026 at pstet2025.org The official key is the only authoritative version used for result preparation. One thing candidates often become confused about is that the unofficial answer keys for the PSTET 2026 paper 2 science and other sections, which appear on coaching websites within hours of the exam, are NOT endorsed by SCERT Punjab.
These unofficial keys are based on expert analysis and candidates' memory recall, so 5–10 answers may differ from the final official version.
Important: Objections can ONLY be raised against the official provisional answer key, not against any unofficial version. No exceptions.
