# 1,295 pass Maharashtra library exam, Gondia centre tops at 100% 2026-09-16T00:17:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Directorate of Libraries, Maharashtra, declared the results of the Library Training Certificate Examination (June 2026) on 15 September 2026. Of the 2,223 candidates who appeared across 29 centres, 1,295 cleared the exam, recording an overall pass rate of 61%. Regular students posted a 61% pass rate, while ex-students cleared at 41%. The Gondia centre achieved the top performance with all 31 regular candidates passing. Among other centres, Nandurbar secured 83%, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar 80%, Dharashiv (Tuljapur) 76%, Dhule 75%, Pune 63%, Brihanmumbai 50%, and Nashik 26%. Candidates seeking revaluation must apply through their class managers by 15 October 2026, paying a fee of Rs 10 per subject. Class managers must deposit fees in the government treasury and submit applications to the Directorate by 30 October 2026. Late applications will not be entertained. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Library Training Certificate is a mandatory qualification for entry-level librarian posts in Maharashtra's public libraries and government schools. The Directorate of Libraries conducts the exam once a year, and the pass rate has hovered near 60% for the past three cycles. The steep variation across centres, from 100% in Gondia to 26% in Nashik, may reflect differences in teaching staff, access to study materials, or inconsistent invigilation standards. Candidates who missed the January 2026 window have no option until the next cycle, tentatively scheduled for June 2027. The revaluation window closes on 30 October 2026, and the final merit list will likely be published by year-end for recruitment drives starting early 2027. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Ashok M Gadekar, Maharashtra, Maharashtra Directorate of Libraries Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/1295-pass-maharashtra-library-exam-gondia-centre-tops-at-100/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
