Maharashtra Minister says govt may reinclude classes 4 and 7 for State Scholarship Exam
Years after Maharashtra changed the practice of school-level state scholarship exams from Classes 4 and 7 to 5 and 8, now the state plans to reinclude Classes 4 and 7. School education minister Dada Bhuse hinted at the change as he spoke about plans to reinclude Classes 4 and 7 for scholarship exams so that students from rural areas–where most government-run schools operate up to Classes 4 or 7–can take advantage of this. Bhuse was talking at a programme in Gondia district. 'Most schools in rural parts of Maharashtra which are run by local governing bodies are either up to Class 4 or Class7. With scholarship exams now being conducted for Classes 5 and 8, these students were not able to obtain the benefits of it. Therefore, there are plans to re-include classes–4 and 7–for the scholarship exam,' he said. More than the financial benefits that it entails, scholarship exam is like a pat on back for students who clear it with good marks, he added. The plans have sparked a new discussion in the school education sector as teachers are now seeking clarity on exact plans. 'It is not advised to have scholarship exams for all four classes as it might add unnecessary burden on students,' said a senior teacher from a Mumbai school. Whereas an experienced coach for scholarship exams in the city, said, 'Any change in scholarship exam should be announced well in advance so that students have adequate time to prepare.' Highlighting the absence of any official order in this case, Mahendra Ganpule of Maharashtra School Principals Association, said, 'The discussion is only being heard through the media. There is no official circular, which has left students, teachers, and parents all confused. An official order should be issued soon. Furthermore, funds will have to be allocated for additional classes.' Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE), Pune conducts Maharashtra State Scholarship Exam which assesses students for language, mathematics, science and general knowledge. Traditionally, these exams have been conducted for Classes 4 and 7 students of Maharashtra State Board. But from 2016, classes for the scholarship exam were changed by the then government to Classes 5 and 8.

Maharashtra class 5 and 8 scholarship results 2025 out: 22.06% students qualify, check details here
The Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE), Pune, has released the final results of the Class 5 and Class 8 Pre‑Upper Primary and Pre‑Secondary Scholarship Examination held on February 9, 2025. Of the 9,44,463 students who registered, 9,13,258 appeared, and only 2,01,417 qualified—resulting in an overall pass percentage of 22.06%. This year's performance reflects ongoing academic challenges among Maharashtra's early learners, with just 31,786 students making the merit list. The result highlights disparities between the two grades, with Class 5 students achieving a higher pass rate than their Class 8 counterparts. As scholars await their certificates, the results underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve foundational learning outcomes in the state's primary education sector. Overall performance summary Check overall performance for both classes 5 and 8 in MSCE scholarship exams below: Particulars Total Students Registered 9,44,463 Students Appeared 9,13,258 Students Qualified 2,01,417 Overall Pass Percentage 22.06% Total Merit List Students 31,786 Class-wise MSCE scholarship result breakdown: Class Registered Appeared Qualified Merit List Pass Percentage 5 5,66,368 5,47,504 1,30,846 16,693 23.90% 8 3,78,095 3,65,754 70,571 15,093 19.30% Maharashtra class 5 and 8 scholarship result analysis The overall pass rate of just 22.06% is a clear indicator that foundational learning across Maharashtra needs urgent attention. While many students participated, only a fraction qualified—highlighting gaps in academic preparedness and support. Notably, Class 5 students performed better than Class 8, pointing to the relative success of early-stage learning interventions. However, the drop in performance by Class 8 suggests that these gains may not be sustained as students progress through the system. The cluster-wise distribution shows that scholarships are reaching rural and disadvantaged groups, which is encouraging. Still, the low merit list numbers across clusters underscore the need for stronger, targeted academic support—especially in under-resourced areas. TOI Education is on WhatsApp now. Follow us here .

Scholarship exam result for std V, VIII out, 22% students qualify
Pune: Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE ) on Wednesday declared the result of its scholarship exam written by 9.1 lakh students of classes V and VIII in Feb and said that 31,786 children had passed. The number of students qualifying for Class V scholarship was same as last year, while there was an increase by over 1,000 students qualifying for the Class VIII exam. MSCE chairman Mahesh Palkar said, "All students passing the exam are not eligible for the scholarship. There are various terms and conditions to identify the most deserving candidates from among those who qualify. Additionally, each district has a separate merit list. This is because the total performance of students from a city may be better than that of students from rural areas because of their lack of exposure and opportunities to prepare for the exam. Therefore, we have different merit lists for almost every category and select students for the scholarship based on the defined rules."
