The Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 in Maharashtra has been postponed following a major paper leak discovered during a police raid in Bhiwandi.
The Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 in Maharashtra was postponed on Saturday, just a day before it was scheduled to take place, after parts of the question paper were allegedly leaked, leading to the arrest of three persons from Bhiwandi and the busting of an "inter-state syndicate".
Police have formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT), while multiple police teams have been dispatched to different states to trace the source of the leak and nab the mastermind behind this racket.
As many as six lakh candidates were scheduled to appear for the examination across 1,728 centres at 37 locations, officials said.

The Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET 2026), which was scheduled for June 28, has been postponed by the Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE), Pune, after concerns emerged over a possible question paper leak.
The decision comes amid serious allegations that questions linked to the exam were recovered from individuals in Thane district.
Officials said the Education Department is currently verifying whether the recovered material is the actual TET question paper or only a mock test paper. A final decision on the situation will depend on this verification process.
According to MSCE, the matter came to light after police conducted a raid in Bhiwandi on the morning of June 27 based on confidential information. Officials from the Maharashtra State Council of Examination were also called to the site during the operation.
Preliminary investigations reportedly found that certain questions in the possession of the suspects matched those prepared for the TET 2026 examination. Following this discovery, the issue was treated with urgency and escalated for further action.
