New Rules to pass HSC exam from 2016

Score of 20% in written, 35% overall must to pass HSC from 2016

UPDATE: 

MUMBAI: The state government has rejected the proposal for minimum pass percentage in theory exams for SSC and HSC that was tabled by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education in October 2014. This means, the practice of students scoring an aggregate of 35 out of 100 in both practicals or orals and written exam to pass will continue. Source : TOI MUMBAI

Until now, students had to secure an aggregate score of 35 out of 100 marks in the written and practical exams to pass. While the written exams of HSC are assessed by the board, practical assessments are done by the college.  Due to this, students passed even if they scored poorly in written exams, as colleges would give generous scores to students in the practicals.

The HSC board is following the footsteps of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) where students are required to score minimum 33% in Class 12.

In light of the new rule, students have to score above the written exam cut-off of 20% marks. This means they will have to score at-least 16 marks in an 80-mark question paper as well as 35% marks in aggregate to ‘pass’ a subject.

“The state government has recently passed the order and schools, colleges will receive circulars soon,” said Gangadhar Mahamane, chairman of the state board.

  1. In maths for hsc science we have just get 1 day so how to concentrate properly on maths in one day please tell some important techniques and how to manage last minute preparation as i have not studied well please tell me some tricks and guidance!!!!!!!!

    1. Hello Sarvesh, Do not try to learn new things one day before the exam or on the night before exam. You had enough time and you studied as much as you could. Now, you only have to revise whatever you have studied and be confident about answering those questions. Confidence is the key. Only revise even on the day of exam and one hour before the exam, just relax and feel confident with happy thoughts. Be stress free and give exam.
