MAHA TET Exam Date

MAHA TET Update 2026: Maharashtra State Government is yet to finalise MAHA TET re-exam date and mode. Nearly six lakh candidates who were scheduled to appear for cancelled exam are awaiting clarity on revised MAHA TET 2026 schedule. As per media reports, Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE) has indicated that MAHA TET re-test may be conducted in December 2026 or January 2027.

However, officials have stated that preparations will need at least three months once government takes a final decision on MAHA TET exam mode (online or offline). As a result, Maha TET 2026 exam date has not yet been announced.

Maha TET Re-Exam Date 2026 Yet to Be Announced

Maharashtra TET was originally scheduled to be held on June 28, 2026, but examination was cancelled a day before after allegations of a question paper leak.  A total of 600,125 candidates had registered for MAHA TET 2026. 

This included around 3.46 lakh applications from serving teachers, although actual number of in-service teacher candidates is estimated to be around 2.26 lakh. After cancellation, MSCE collected almost all blank answer sheets from 37 district planning centres.

MAHA TET 2026 Online or Offline Exam? Government Yet to Decide

MAHA TET exam mode remains major concern. School Education Minister had earlier indicated that Maharashtra TET 2026 re-exam will be conducted in online mode after alleged paper leak. However, state government has not formally approved the decision yet.

Supreme Court Deadline Adds to Candidates’ Concerns

The uncertainty has further increased concerns among serving teachers after Supreme Court’s deadline requiring in-service teachers to clear TET by August 2028. Candidates are now waiting for government to finalise exam mode and announce Maha TET re-test date so that they can plan their preparation accordingly.
