There will be no negative markings for incorrect answers.

To pass the OSSTET examination, general category candidates need at least 45 per cent marks.

For SC, ST, PH and SEBC category candidates, OSSTET pass mark is 35 per cent.

Candidates who pass the exam will be issued a certificate by the BSE Odisha and it will remain valid till the candidate reaches the upper age limit prescribed for recruitment of teachers.

There is no restriction in the number of OSSTET attempts a candidate can take.

In recruitment processes, the weightage to OSSTET scores will be decided by the government.

Qualifying the OSSTET does not mean a candidate is eligible for employment. It is just one of the requirements.

“The eligibility for recruitment shall be determined by the concerned recruiting agency/ appointing authority on the basis of all eligibility conditions prescribed by Govt. from time to time,” BSE Odisha said.
