ExploreAbout this exam
The Maharashtra SSC (Class 10) examination is conducted by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), Pune - महाराष्ट्र राज्य माध्यमिक व उच्च माध्यमिक शिक्षण मंडळ, पुणे - the state board that also runs the HSC (Class 12) examination. Mathematics is a compulsory subject for Class 10 candidates in the state board stream, whether they study in a school or register as private candidates. The board's own site organises content by division: Pune, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Latur and Konkan - nine divisional boards under the state board. Preparation should be built around the board's own syllabus and textbooks, which are published through e-Balbharati (ई-बालभारती), linked from the board homepage. Work through the prescribed textbook chapter by chapter, then practise writing full solutions with reasons and construction steps, because Mathematics marks are lost on presentation as often as on method. Keep a formula and theorem register for Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, and revise Statistics and Probability through short daily problem sets rather than last-minute cramming. Track official notices on mahahsscboard.in for form deadlines and examination announcements; the board also publishes a student counselling helpline.

What you'll study
About Maharashtra SSC Mathematics (MSBSHSE) preparation
Which body conducts the Maharashtra SSC Mathematics examination?
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), Pune - in Marathi, महाराष्ट्र राज्य माध्यमिक व उच्च माध्यमिक शिक्षण मंडळ, पुणे. It runs both the SSC (Class 10) and HSC (Class 12) examinations. Always confirm details on the official board website rather than third-party pages.
Where can I find the official syllabus and textbook?
The board homepage links to ई-बालभारती (e-Balbharati), the state textbook portal, where prescribed books are published. Use the board's own syllabus and textbook as your primary source, and check the board site for any revision notices before you build a study plan.
How do I register as a private candidate?
The board's notices refer to a private candidates' registration application as Form No. 17 (फॉर्म नं. १७), submitted online with documents to the school. Deadlines are announced on the board site and change each cycle, so read the current notice rather than relying on an older date.
What are the important dates for the next examination?
The board site carries a rolling notices list. As retrieved, it announced an extension to 30/11/2026 for online application forms at the regular fee for the February–March 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 examinations. Dates are revised often - verify on mahahsscboard.in before acting.
How should I order my Mathematics revision?
Start with Algebra and Geometry, which carry the heaviest weight and reward sustained practice, then Arithmetic. Build Trigonometry on a solid Geometry base, and keep Statistics and Probability as short, frequent practice slots. Finish with full-length timed papers written under exam conditions.
Why do students lose marks in Geometry despite knowing the answer?
Usually because reasons are missing. In board-style Geometry answers, each statement in a proof needs its supporting theorem or property named, and constructions need step-by-step description. Practise writing the reason beside every line, not only the final result.
How should I handle Trigonometry numericals?
Memorise the standard identities and values, then practise converting expressions into a single trigonometric ratio before simplifying. Show each substitution clearly. Many errors come from sign mistakes in different quadrants, so draw the reference angle whenever a problem involves more than the first quadrant.
Is Statistics and Probability worth serious effort?
Yes. These topics are formula-driven and comparatively quick to secure if you practise regularly. Learn the mean, median and mode formulae for grouped data and the probability definition with worked examples. Short daily sets beat a single long session before the paper.
Is there official help if I feel anxious about the exam?
The board homepage lists a student counselling helpline number, 9112709112 (विद्यार्थी समुपदेशन हेल्पलाइन क्रमांक). It is published on the official site. For anything about your own registration, school or documents, contact your school or the board directly.
How do I verify my marksheet or certificate later?
The board homepage links to an online verification service for SSC and HSC marksheets and certificates at boardmarksheet.maharashtra.gov.in. Employers and institutions can use it to check a document. Use the link from the official board site so you reach the genuine portal.
