Can the static methods be overridden?

No! Declaration of static methods having the same signature can be done in the subclass but run time polymorphism can not take place in such cases.

Overriding or dynamic polymorphism occurs during the runtime, but the static methods are loaded and looked up at the compile time statically. Hence, these methods cant be overridden.
