Read in मराठी, English or both

MSCE prints Child Development, Mathematics, EVS, Science and Social Science in both Marathi and English. Each paper opens with a view switch: see the questions in मराठी, in English, or both together. The Marathi and English language sections are the same in every view. Paper II has one page for each stream — Maths & Science or Social Science — since Q91–150 differ.

About the answer keys

The answers on the 2025 papers follow the MSCE final answer key published on 12 January 2026. Where MSCE accepted two options or cancelled a question, the paper shows it. If you spot an answer that differs from the MSCE key, tell us on the Contact page.

How to prepare with these papers

Each MAHA TET paper has 150 multiple-choice questions of one mark each, and there is no negative marking. So answer every question.

  • Solve a full paper in 150 minutes, the same time as the real exam.
  • Check your answers in practice mode and read the explanation for each mistake.
  • Child Development and Pedagogy is in both papers. Revise it well; it carries marks in Paper I and Paper II.
  • Use the view switch to read hard questions in both मराठी and English.
  • For extra practice, solve the CTET papers. The pedagogy and language sections are very similar.
