Pune, 19th September 2026: The first Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Test (FLNAT) for 2026-27, to be conducted under the Ullas Nav Bharat Literacy Programme, has been postponed due to unavoidable administrative reasons.

The authorities have directed officials to inform candidates, volunteers, teachers, headmasters, examination centre officials and staff, and other stakeholders about the postponement to avoid any confusion regarding the examination.

Education director and member-secretary of the State Literacy Mission Authority, Maharashtra, Krishnakumar Patil, issued instructions to the education officers (Planning) of all districts, as well as Mumbai, through a letter dated September 16.

The revised date and timing for the FLNAT examination have not yet been announced.
