MH SET 2017 was conducted by Savitribai Phule Pune University, the 33rd Maharashtra State Eligibility Test, on 16 April 2017 in offline OMR mode. That cycle still followed the old three paper format, with a common Paper 1 on Teaching and Research Aptitude and Paper 2 and Paper 3 based on the subject chosen from 32 options. Despite the later shift to a two paper format, the question style and topic coverage from MH SET 2017 remain close to what is asked today.
