The 41st Maharashtra State Eligibility Test (SET) 2026, originally scheduled for September 27, has been postponed to October 25, according to the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). The decision was made after reviewing concerns raised by candidates, who noted that the potential test date clashed with the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam timetable, as well as Anant Chaturdashi, the final day of the Ganeshotsav festival.
Anant Chaturdashi, a major Hindu festival, involves large processions and a "visarjan" ceremony, which could create difficulties for candidates attempting to travel to the examination center. The rescheduled examination will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2026. The SET is designed to assess eligibility for becoming an Assistant Professor and is approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and authorized by the Government of Maharashtra and Goa. The test is coordinated by SPPU.
