The Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (MAHA TET) 2025 has been successfully conducted by the Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE) on November 23, 2025. Thousands of aspiring teachers across the state appeared for the crucial examination that determines their eligibility for teaching positions in Maharashtra schools.
Important Dates and Next Steps
With the examination now completed, candidates are eagerly awaiting the next phase of the process. The provisional answer keys and response sheets for both Paper 1 (Classes 1-5) and Paper 2 (Classes 6-8) are expected to be released in December 2025, though the exact date remains to be announced officially.
The official portal for all updates and downloads continues to be mahatet.in, the Maharashtra State Council of Examinations website. Candidates should regularly monitor this platform for the latest announcements regarding the answer key release and subsequent processes.
How to Download Response Sheets and Answer Keys
When the provisional answer keys become available, candidates will need to follow a specific procedure to access their materials:
- Visit the official MSCE website at mahatet.in
- Navigate to the notifications or "Answer Key" section
- Select your appropriate paper (Paper 1 or Paper 2) and medium (Marathi, English, etc.)
- Log in using your registration number and date of birth
- Download the PDF files of both your response sheet and the provisional answer key
- Save these documents securely for comparison and future reference
The scoring system for MAHA TET follows a straightforward pattern: +1 mark for every correct answer with no negative marking for wrong or unattempted questions.
Objection Submission Process
A crucial aspect of the MAHA TET evaluation process is the objection window that will open alongside the provisional answer key release. This transparency measure allows candidates to identify and challenge any discrepancies they find in the preliminary answer key or their response sheets.
Candidates who spot potential errors must submit their objections exclusively through the online portal during the designated objection window. The process typically involves:
- Logging into the candidate portal on mahatet.in
- Selecting the specific question numbers they wish to challenge
- Uploading supporting documents or evidence such as textbook references
- Paying any applicable objection fee as specified in the official notification
Late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted, making it essential for candidates to act within the stipulated deadlines. After the objection window closes, the MSCE will review all challenges, make necessary corrections, and release the final answer key. The final results will be calculated based on this revised key.
Education officials emphasize that this multi-step verification process ensures fairness and accuracy in the evaluation system, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders in the teacher recruitment process.
