The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) declared the results of the SSC (Class 10) examinations on Tuesday, recording a state-wide pass percentage of 94.10%. While the results reflect strong overall performance, this marks a slight decline from last year’s pass percentage of 95.81%.

This year’s SSC exams, held from February 21 to March 17 in two shifts, were conducted at more than 5,000 centres across the state. A total of 16,11,610 students appeared, including 8,64,120 boys, 7,47,471 girls, and 19 transgender candidates. The exams were conducted across nine divisions — Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nagpur, Amravati, Kolhapur, Konkan, and Latur.

Despite the marginal dip in the pass percentage, the overall performance remains consistent with recent years. Notably, girls continued to outperform boys, a trend observed over the past few years. The pass percentage among girls stood at an impressive 96.14%, while boys recorded a pass rate of 92.31% — a gap of 3.83%.

The performance among Divyang (specially-abled) students was also notable. Out of 9,673 registered candidates, 9,585 appeared for the exams and 8,844 passed, translating to a pass percentage of 92.27%. This underlines the ongoing efforts toward inclusive education and active participation by students with disabilities.

Subject-wise and school-wise achievements were noteworthy this year. As many as 24 subjects recorded a 100% pass rate. Among 23,489 schools that participated, 7,924 achieved a perfect 100% result.

“211 students scored a full 100% in their exams — with Latur leading the list with 113 such students,” informed a senior MSHSBSE official, adding that Pune had 12 students getting a perfect score, and Mumbai had 8 such students.

Among regular students, 4,88,745 passed with distinction (first division with distinction), while 4,97,277 secured a first division.

Division-wise, Konkan topped the state with the highest pass percentage of 98.82%, followed by Kolhapur at 96.87% and Mumbai at 95.84%. Other division-wise pass percentages were: Pune – 94.81%, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar – 92.82%, Amravati – 92.95%, Nashik – 93.04%, Latur – 92.77%, and Nagpur – 90.78%, the lowest in the state.

The results highlight both the academic achievements and regional variations in performance, offering insights into the learning landscape across Maharashtra for the academic year 2024–25.

Reuben Nazareth, Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School, SSC 100% said, ““I believe that the quality of study matters far more than the number of hours spent.

Ayesha Siddiqui, SSC 96.20%, NH English Academy, Mira Road: “I believed in self-study and made sure to revise everything after it was taught. To students preparing for board exams, I’d say—don’t stress over your pre-board marks. Use them as a learning experience and focus on improving from there.”
