BSE Odisha released the provisional OTET 2024 answer key on 19 September 2024, when it also opened the response-challenge window. The deadline to challenge a response was 28 September 2024 at midnight; candidates then had until 29 September at midnight to pay the fee and submit the application. Both deadlines have passed.

| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Provisional key and challenge window opened | 19 September 2024 at 10:00 a.m., according to BSE Odisha’s instructions. A release-day report also said the provisional key was released that day (Hindustan Times, 19 September 2024). |

The challenge deadline and the payment-and-submission deadline were separate. The Board’s instructions said candidates could challenge responses online from 19 September at 10:00 a.m. through 28 September at midnight. The following day was the final deadline for fee payment and application submission. The process is now closed; these dates are historical, not actionable.

How the 2024 challenge process worked
The Board’s step-by-step challenge instructions described this online process:
- Log in using your roll number and mobile number.
- Select the response to challenge and pay Rs. 500 for each challenged response online.
- Upload supporting documents; the instructions allowed up to 10 files.
- Provide savings-bank account details for a possible refund by RTGS.
- Select “Final Submit” and download the acknowledgement.
BSE Odisha said it would analyze the challenges and decide the final answer key after that review. The instructions said the fee for an accepted challenge would be refunded through RTGS; they do not establish whether any particular candidate’s challenge was accepted or specify a result date.
