Resonant valence-band X-ray photoelectron spectra (ResPES) excited near 2p$_{3/2}$ core level energies, 2p X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and L$_{3,2}$ X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of Ti and Mn in single crystal of 1T-Mn$_2$TiSe$_2$ were studied for the first time. The ionic-covalent character of bonds formed by Mn atoms with the neighboring Se atoms in the octahedral coordination is established. From the XPS and XAS measurements compared with results of atomic multiplet calculations of Ti and Mn L$_{3,2}$ XAS it is found that Ti atoms are in ionic state of 4+ and Mn atoms are in the state of 2+. In ResPES of Mn$_{0.2}$TiSe$_2$ excited near Ti 2p$_{3/2}$ and Mn 2p$_{3/2}$ absorption edges the Ti 3d and Mn 3d bands at binding energies just below the Fermi level are observed. According to band structure calculations E$(\textbf{k})$ the Ti 3d states are localized in the vicinity of $\mathsf{\Gamma}$ point and the Mn 3d states are localized along the direction K-$\mathsf{\Gamma}$-M in the Brillouin zone of the crystal.
