OTET has a fixed qualifying bar, not a year-wise cut off. Because it is a qualifying test rather than a competitive one, the mark you need to pass is set in the rules and does not change from year to year.
Qualifying marks
Each paper carries 150 marks. A candidate is treated as OTET pass on scoring:
| Category | Minimum % | Marks (of 150) |
|---|---|---|
| General | 60% | 90 |
| SC / ST / SEBC / Physically Handicapped | 50% | 75 |
What the qualifying mark does
Crossing the qualifying mark makes you OTET pass and earns a certificate that establishes eligibility for teacher recruitment in Odisha for classes I to VIII. It does not by itself secure a post — recruitment is a separate process, so a mark comfortably above the bar is worth aiming for.
