The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education, known as HPBOSE, has issued the tentative solution sheet for the Diploma in Elementary Education Common Entrance Test for 2026. Those who took the admission test may now retrieve it from HPBOSE’s official site and check their marked options to gauge their expected marks. In addition, HPBOSE has activated the facility to dispute the solution sheet, so applicants can contest any response they consider wrong. Objections must be filed no later than July 11, 2026. Applicants should ensure they lodge their objections by the given cutoff date and attach acceptable evidence or cited sources. Once every submission is examined, the board will release a finalised solution sheet, and that version will be used to compile the DElEd CET 2026 outcome.
