Maharashtra TET exam cancelled after paper leak scare

More than 4.28 million candidates had registered for the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test when the exam board abruptly announced the cancellation of the June 28 session. The decision came after intelligence agencies received credible information that the paper had been compromised roughly 24 hours before the scheduled start.

Candidates were left in uncertainty as the state education council scrambled to arrange a secure re‑exam. Officials cited the recent raid in Hajipur as a key factor that confirmed the existence of a leak network.

The cancellation has sparked widespread concern among aspiring teachers, many of whom had prepared extensively for the test. The board has pledged to release a new timetable once the ongoing investigation concludes and the integrity of the examination process can be assured.
