Hello Aspirants,
I am herewith posting/sharing the Answer Key for Maharashtra
English SET Paper II. This is model answer key and not authentic key. I have
tried my best to provide ideal model answers to all the 50 Questions in Paper
II. It is my great pleasure to inform you
that almost 42 to 44 questions are directly from my Study Notes and Online
Guidance Course. Before moving to the key, let me clear some points –
1) It is model
answer key and prepared by me (Anil S Awad), not final answer key. Please tally
the key with the Authentic Key published by the competent authority, when it
will be issued.
2) Please don’t
ask such irrelevant questions, like – what will be the merit/cut off/qualifying
marks for Open/SC/ST/OBC etc. It is improbable to anyone to guess it now.
3) Instead of
waiting for the result, I humbly advise you to start preparing for July 2016
Net as well as the upcoming SET Exams.
4) It is my
humble request not to modify the key – any answers (or even my name) for
purpose of sharing/re-posting it.
5) Some fake
professionals are misusing my name, and calling me either as their teacher or
student to impress the NET/SET aspirants.
I appeal you to keep alert from such misleading and fake professionals.
Don’t believe them.
6) You can share
this key on your timeline from my time or my Facebook Page – English Net Study
Notes and Online Guidance
https://www.facebook.com/pages/English-Net-Study-Notes-and-Online-Guidance/800638513316780
7) You can read
this key anytime on my Blog Spot. If any rectifications in the key, it will be
made available on the blog. – Anil
Awad’s Judgement on Literature.
