PUNE: The board examination dates for secondary school certificate (SSC, std X) and higher secondary certificate (HSC, std XII) will be announced by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.
The HSC exams are likely to be held after April 15, and SSC in May, board chairman Dinkar Patil told TOI on Monday. Primary education minister Varsha Gaikwad had announced that the exam would be conducted in April-May.
Patil, who took additional charge of the state board after the previous chairman Shakuntala Kale retired, said they were getting ready to conduct the examinations.

“We will announce the dates this week. Students, teachers and parents need to know about the exam dates well in advance and start preparing,” he said.

The exams are usually conducted in February-March, but have been delayed due to the Covid pandemic. The exam was postponed by 40-45 days.


The Central Board of Secondary Education will conduct its exam in May.


Patil said, “The board recently conducted the supplementary exam smoothly for which over two lakh students appeared. The results were announced in two weeks and there were no issues faced by the students of the divisional board. We are confident that the regular exams will also be held in a similar manner with all safety precautions.”


The state board has extended the deadline for filling the SSC exam forms with a late fee up to January 21. Earlier, the last day was fixed for Monday.
