Bhubaneswar: The Special Odisha Teachers Eligibility Test (OTET), slated for August 31, has once again been deferred due to unavoidable circumstances, officials said Thursday.
In a notification, the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), which organises the exam, said, “It is for information of all concerned that Special OTET-2025 (Paper-I & Paper-II) scheduled to be held on August 31, 2025 is hereby deferred due to some unavoidable circumstances and will be held shortly.”
Earlier, the written examination for special OTET-2025 was scheduled for July 20.
However, the test was postponed after a handwritten question paper with answers of the test, which were the actual replica of question sets prepared by BSE, went viral on Facebook and other social media platforms July 19.
The CID-Crime Branch of Odisha Police, which is investigating the case, has arrested eight people including BSE vice-president for their alleged involvement.
