Mumbai: The responsibility of selection process of teachers from the teachers eligibility test (TET) will henceforth be carried out by Maharashtra State Examination Council (MSEC) with help of a steering committee constituted by the state Commissioner (Education).

As a large part of the Commissioner (Education) office is being spent on this work, it had a conditional effect on the implementation of other important policies and decisions. The main responsibility of this office is to take necessary measures, monitor and control for the effective implementation of all policies formulated and decisions taken by the Department of Education. Since 2017, the process of recruitment of teachers under the purview of this office is also being carried out.

The resolution stated that, “It is necessary that the examination related to the recruitment of teachers and the selection process should be done by a single body.”
