At a Glance
MAHA TET 2026, originally set for June 28, was postponed by MSCE just one day before the exam after police uncovered an alleged question paper leak in Bhiwandi, Thane district. A case was registered, and a Special Investigation Team is probing an inter-state racket. As of July 1, 2026, MSCE has not announced a new exam date. Candidates don't need to reapply; only the official mahatet.in portal will confirm the rescheduled date.
Why It Matters
This postponement affects over 4 lakh MAHA TET aspirants across Maharashtra who need the certificate to apply for teaching posts in government and aided schools. Until MSCE issues a fresh notification, existing admit cards, registrations, and application fees remain valid — no fresh application or payment is required. Candidates should keep checking mahatet.in and mscepune.in regularly, since the council has said the new date will follow only after the SIT investigation and security arrangements are finalised. Meanwhile, aspirants should continue syllabus revision and mock tests rather than pausing preparation, since a fresh date could be announced on short notice once the inquiry reaches a stage where MSCE is confident of a secure, leak-proof exam.
