PUNE: The state board scholarship results of standard V has remained the same as compared to last year, with 22.04% students qualifying, while the results of standard VIII scholarship have improved by 5.92%.

The results were announced by the Maharashtra State Council of Examination on Thursday. The results of this year are on an interim basis and the final results would be announced later considering the revaluation applications, Tukaram Supe, commissioner of the exam council, said.

The results were announced online on www.mscepune.in on Thursday afternoon. School could check the results of their students through the login ID provided to them.

Supe said that the results of standard VIII exam have been the best since the past three years. In 2017, 13.46% students qualified for the exam, while it was 12.57% last year. For this year, as many as 18.49 % students qualified for the scholarship, an improvement of over five per cent.
