The Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE) is gearing up to release the provisional answer key for the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (MAHA TET) 2025. The key document will be published on the official portal, mahatet.in, in the coming days. This release is a critical step for the thousands of candidates who appeared for the state-level qualifying examination.
Exam Details and Significance of the Answer Key
The MAHA TET 2025 was conducted on November 23, 2025, in two separate shifts across the state. Paper 1, for those aiming to teach classes 1 to 5, was held from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Paper 2, for eligibility to teach classes 6 to 8, took place from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM. The exam was conducted in offline pen-and-paper mode, with sections in both English and Marathi, except for the Language II paper, which was exclusively in English.
The MAHA TET is a mandatory qualifying test for teaching positions in Maharashtra's schools. The provisional answer key allows candidates to cross-check their responses marked on the OMR sheet, calculate a probable score, and identify any potential errors in the official key. This process ensures transparency and provides a window for candidates to challenge any discrepancies they find.
Step-by-Step Guide to Download the Answer Key
Once released, candidates can access the MAHA TET 2025 answer key by following a straightforward process on the official website. The key will be available in a downloadable PDF format for both Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Visit the official website: mahatet.in.
- On the homepage, look for the active link labelled 'MAHA TET 2025 Answer Key' or similar.
- Click on the link corresponding to your paper (Paper 1 or Paper 2).
- The answer key PDF will open in a new window. Carefully review all the questions and answers.
- Download the PDF and save it on your device for detailed comparison and future reference.
Objection Window and Final Key
Alongside the provisional answer key, the MSCE is also expected to make the response sheets available for candidates. This will enable a more accurate comparison of their marked answers against the official key.
If candidates find any incorrect answers or discrepancies in the provisional key, they will have the opportunity to raise objections within a specified timeline. A fee is usually applicable for each challenge submitted. The council will review all valid objections before publishing the final, conclusive answer key. The final key will be used for preparing the MAHA TET 2025 result.
Authorities advise all candidates to regularly monitor the official website, mahatet.in, for the latest announcements regarding the answer key release, objection process, and subsequent results. This step is crucial for evaluating performance and preparing for the next stages of teacher recruitment in Maharashtra.
