Students in Maharashtra can now mark their calendars. The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has released the exam dates for SSC (Class 10) and HSC (Class 12) for the year 2026. The announcement has brought both relief and excitement among students, teachers, and parents who were waiting for the timetable.

HSC 2026 Exam Dates

For Class 12 students, the theory exams will start on February 10, 2026, and continue till March 18, 2026. Before the main exams, schools will conduct practical, oral, and internal tests between February 2 and February 18, 2026.

These practicals are very important, especially for science and vocational subjects. Many schools have already begun planning the schedule for lab work and project submissions. Teachers are advising students to finish their syllabus early so they have enough time to revise and take practice tests.

SSC 2026 Exam Dates

For Class 10 students, the written exams will begin on February 20, 2026, and end on March 18, 2026. The practical and internal exams will be held earlier, from January 23 to February 9, 2026.

Schools will soon share the detailed subject-wise timetable and exam timings. Teachers suggest that students use this time wisely by revising daily and solving sample papers to build confidence before the board exams.

Quick Look at the Schedule

Exams Across Maharashtra

These exam dates apply to all nine divisions — Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Latur, and Konkan. The board has asked schools to make sure all internal tests are done on time and that students get clear instructions for their practicals.

Students are also being reminded to check their hall tickets, subject codes, and exam centers carefully once the final timetable is released. It’s always good to double-check details to avoid last-minute confusion.

Preparing for the Final Stretch

Now that the exam dates are fixed, students have a clear plan for their studies. Teachers say this is the right time to focus on revision, mock tests, and solving previous years’ papers. Staying consistent and managing time well will help students do their best in both SSC and HSC exams.

As the new year approaches, the focus in classrooms across Maharashtra is shifting toward preparation. With steady effort and good planning, students are ready to face the 2026 board exams with confidence and hope.
