State Selection Board Odisha (Website)

The State Selection Board (SSB) of Odisha has officially published the final answer keys for the B.Ed, B.H.Ed, and M.Ed entrance examinations conducted in 2026. This release provides candidates with the definitive set of correct answers for all 100 questions across various test booklets, including Arts and Science streams. By comparing these final keys with their own responses, applicants can accurately calculate their expected performance before the official merit list is announced. The board has also clarified the handling of ambiguous questions, ensuring that all participants receive full credit for specific star-marked items, thereby maintaining fairness in the evaluation process. This final publication marks a critical milestone in the admission cycle, as it precedes the upcoming declaration of results and the subsequent counselling phases for teacher education programs in the state.

The selection process for the B.Ed, B.H.Ed, and M.Ed programs involves a competitive entrance examination followed by a merit-based counselling session. The publication of the final answer key is the concluding step of the assessment phase. Candidates use this key to determine their final scores, which will then be used by the State Selection Board to prepare the official merit list. Once the merit list is finalized, successful candidates will be invited for document verification and seat allocation based on their rank and category.
