State's SSC pass percentage drops to 94.10%
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) on Tuesday declared the class 10 Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination results recording an overall pass percentage of 94.10%, a 1.71% dip compared to last year's pass percentage of 95.81%. However, the Konkan division once again secured the top spot with the highest pass percentage of 98.82% while the Nagpur division recorded the lowest pass percentage at 90.78%.
This year too, girls outperformed boys with 96.14% girls passing as compared to 92.31% boys, marking a 3.83% gender gap in favour of girls.
This year's SSC exam was conducted from February 21 to March 17, and the board too declared the results well ahead of schedule. Last year, the SSC results were announced on May 27, which was the earliest date for announcement of results ever since the board was established in 1975. Traditionally, results would be declared in the month of June.
Board chairman Sharad Gosavi told Hindustan Times, 'The overall result is satisfactory. All divisions have performed well. Our staff worked tirelessly to declare the results early while also ensuring strict vigilance against malpractices across the state.'
Asked about the dip in pass percentage, Gosavi said, 'Every year, the results vary by 1.5 to 2 percentage points on an average. There is no specific reason behind this year's decline.'
Gosavi added that several reforms have been introduced to reduce exam-related stress and improve efficiency. 'A one-day gap was provided between the main written exams to reduce stress. Our goal was to ensure that class 11 admissions start on time. We are also aiming to declare supplementary exam results promptly,' he said.
As part of the board's initiative to curb cheating, students were informed about the consequences of malpractices during exams, and additional police support was deployed to maintain a copy-free environment. 'The recognition of any exam centre where malpractices occurred will be revoked after a detailed investigation,' Gosavi said.
Students seeking re-evaluation of marks in any subject (other than category subjects) can apply online via the board's portal http://verification.mh-ssc.ac.in, either personally or through their schools.

Registrations for FYJC admissions close: Over 12 lakh students register through e-portal
As student registrations concluded for admissions to First Year Junior College (FYJC) in Maharashtra, a total of 12,71,295 candidates registered for the online Centralised Admission Process (CAP). As per this year's intake capacity for FYJC, there are a total of 21,23,040 seats available in junior colleges across Maharashtra. This gap indicates asignificant vacancy in junior colleges across the state. In Mumbai division alone there are close to 4.75 lakh seats in FYJC, but only 2.92 lakh students have registered for admissions. This is a huge gap, despite Mumbai being the division which has received the highest number of student registrations. After a final extension to the registration process, the Director of Education (Secondary) officially closed the registration window on Thursday afternoon. Among the total student registrations, the highest number — 2,92,603 — is from Mumbai division, followed by Pune with 2,19,154 registrations. The lowest number of student registrations — 76,936 — is from Latur division. For Nashik division, there were 1,40,897 registrations, while for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar it was 1,40,081. In Kolhapur division, there were 1,27,090, while Amravati saw 1,23,666 registrations. In Nagpur division there were 1,14,623 registrations and in Latur, it was 76,936. Other divisions saw 36,245 registrations. Of the total, 12,15,190 students have paid the registration fee online. Part 1 of the application form has been filled by 12,05,162 students, while 11,29,924 students have completed and locked Part 2 of the application. For the regular CAP round, 11,29,932 students have applied. Additionally, 64,238 students have applied under the in-house Quota, 32,721 under the management quota, and 47,578 under minority quota. Many teachers have pointed out that the total student registration is very low. 'Over 14 lakh students passed the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam. Traditionally, it was expected that students from other boards seeking admission to FYJC in Maharashtra would be added to this pool. But the total registration is only a little over 12 lakh, indicating that many have not registered for FYJC admission,' said a senior teacher from Mumbai. Adding to this, another teacher noted, 'Due to a lack of awareness about the extension of online FYJC admissions across the state, many students may have failed to register.' However, the School Education Department insists that there is no issue. 'Not all students who pass Class X register for FYJC admissions, as there are various other options such as pursuing diplomas or enrolling in courses offered at Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Furthermore, out of over 12,000 junior colleges in the state, only 9,000 are covered under the online FYJC admission process. Many candidates may have chosen to take admission in those colleges. It is also important to note that students will have more chances to register for admission after each round.' As per the schedule, the Zero Round Merit List will be published on June 8, 2025, and actual admissions at junior colleges will take place from June 9 to June 11, 2025. The CAP Round Merit List will be published on June 10, 2025, with admissions for this round to be conducted from June 11 to June 18, 2025. Mumbai: As a result of major controversy erupted in Maharashtra over FYJC admissions in minority-run junior colleges after the state applied SC/ST/OBC reservations on their non-minority seats, the Maharshtra Association of Minority Educational Institutions has written a letter to the Maharashtra School Education Minister Dada Bhuse against the state government's decision. And appealed the minister to withdraw the decision. In its letter dated June 5, the association stated that the state government has created college-specific online admission portals which display social/constitutional reservation categories for minority colleges. The letter states, 'It is imposed despite the absence of any official Government Resolution (GR) or written circular to this effect.' Stating that the move was not only legally untenable but also contradicts established norms and various court rulings, the letter adds, 'These clauses directly contradict the structure displayed on the online admission portals of all minority colleges. Moreover, the calculation of Management Quota and In-House Quota seats shown on the admission portal is factually incorrect.' Traditionally, these colleges reserve 50% of seats for minorities, 5% for management, and keep 45% open to all, which are filled only merit basis. However, the admission portal now reflects reservations on those seats, sparking confusion. Angered by the move, minority institutions have stated that the decision contradicts Supreme Court rulings, which prohibit such reservations in minority colleges to prevent exceeding 80% quota. Colleges on Wednesday had expressed that they are considering legal action against the sudden policy change. Mumbai – 2,92,603 Pune – 2,19,154 Nashik – 1,40,897 Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar – 1,40,081 Kolhapur – 1,27,090 Amravati – 1,23,666 Nagpur – 1,14,623 Latur – 76,936 Others – 36,245
