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