Earlier last week, BSE President Srikant Tarai had not resolved the confusion surrounding the Special OTET 2025 during a press meet.

Tarai refrained from giving a clear answer on whether the Special OTET would be held on August 31. However, he assured that if the exam is not conducted on August 31, it will be held very soon.

Tarai informed that a committee is currently working to ensure the proper conduct of the examination.

Earlier, the BSE had officially announced that the Special OTET 2025 will be conducted on August 31 and the examination will be held in two sittings on the same day.

The Special OTET-2025, originally scheduled to be held on July 20 for in-service primary school teachers across the state, was cancelled unexpectedly and postponed indefinitely following a late-night notification. The announcement followed the leak of the special OTET question paper, which led to the postponement of the exam scheduled for July 20.
