Hello Aspirants,
It is my great pleasure to
inform you that there were 40-42 questions directly from my study notes
in 16th April 2017 Maharashtra SET Exam. I am herewith posting the model
(predicted) answer key of Maharashtra SET (English) – II paper.
Before moving to the key, let
me tell you something…
1. This is predicted/estimated/model key for
English SET Paper II and not the authentic key. I have tried my best
to prepare it by using as many resources as possible. Still, I suggest you to
go with the authentic key to be published by competent authority, for final
confirmation of the answers.
2. Please don’t ask such irrelevant questions
like what will be the cut-off for General/OBC/SC/ST etc. categories.
This depends upon the number of candidates appearing for exam, the level of
questions, final decisions by the SET conducting machinery etc.
3. Instead of waiting for the
result, I humbly advise you to start preparing for July 2017 Net as well as the upcoming
SET Exam.
5. You can share this key on
your timeline from my time or my Facebook Page – English Net Study Notes and Online Guidance
.
6. You can read the model key
on my blog-spot – Anil Awad’s Quest For Literature. If any rectifications,
I will post it on my blog. The blog link is:
I hope this key will help you
to find out the right answers. It is always a great pleasure for me to see you
pass in the Net/SET exam. So I appeal you not to give up and start preparing
for the upcoming exams. God Bless You With Success.
