ExploreAbout this exam
This page supports candidates preparing for the Persian paper in the Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE) Secondary School Certificate (SSC, Class 10) examinations. The board is the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Pune, with nine divisional boards - Pune, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Latur and Konkan - and it administers the SSC and HSC examinations taken by students across Maharashtra. Persian is a language subject offered within that SSC curriculum; the board's curriculum and textbook work is linked to e-Balbharati, which publishes the state's textbooks. Candidates are typically Class 10 students enrolled through a recognised school, plus private candidates who register through Form No. 17. The paper tests Persian reading, comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and writing as set out in the prescribed SSC syllabus and textbook - not the board's general examination notices. Preparation therefore means working systematically through the prescribed Persian textbook, learning vocabulary and grammar rules, practising translation and comprehension passages, and rehearsing written answers under timed conditions. Use the board's official site for notifications, forms and deadlines, and treat this page as independent practice material: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by MSBSHSE. Always confirm examination dates, paper pattern, marks and eligibility against the board's current official notifications before relying on them.
What you'll study
About Maharashtra SSC Persian (MSBSHSE) preparation
Who conducts the SSC Persian examination?
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Pune, conducts the SSC examinations, including language papers, through its divisional boards in Pune, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Latur and Konkan. Your school or divisional board handles registration. This page is an independent study resource and has no official connection to the board.
How many marks and how much time does the Persian paper have?
We do not state a marks total, duration or question count here, because the official source consulted does not publish the Persian paper's structure. Check the current SSC syllabus and the board's notifications for the authoritative paper pattern, marks distribution and time allowed before you plan your revision schedule.
Can private candidates appear for SSC Persian?
The board publishes a private candidate registration route: Form No. 17 for Class 10 and Class 12 private candidates, submitted online with a late fee, with documents submitted at school. A notice on the board site set a final deadline of 18 November 2026 for the February–March 2027 examinations. Confirm your own eligibility with your school or divisional board.
What is the application deadline for the next SSC examination?
The board's notice states that online application forms for the February–March 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 examinations with the regular fee were extended to 30/11/2026. Deadlines move, so verify the current date on the board's official notifications page rather than relying on this page.
How difficult is the Persian paper?
Difficulty is subjective and no official pass rate for this subject is published in the source consulted. Most candidates find script recognition and vocabulary manageable through regular practice, while comprehension and composition reward steady work. Build accuracy in grammar and script first, then speed. Do not assume a difficulty level from this page.
What should I study first?
Start with the prescribed SSC Persian textbook and syllabus, since question papers are set from that content. Learn the script and core vocabulary, then grammar patterns, then comprehension and writing. Practise translating short passages and answering in full sentences. Keep a list of recurring errors and revise it weekly rather than rereading whole chapters passively.
Where do I get the official syllabus and textbook?
The board site links to e-Balbharati for curriculum and textbook material. Use that source for the prescribed Persian textbook and syllabus rather than third-party notes. Ask your school which lessons are in the current syllabus, since content can be revised between years, and cross-check with the board's own publications and notifications.
How do I check my marksheet or certificate?
The board provides online verification of SSC and HSC marksheets and certificates through its marksheet portal, linked from the official home page. Use only the board's own portal for verification. Results, revaluation and certificate correction procedures are announced through official notifications, so read those rather than relying on secondary summaries.
What if I fail or want to improve my score?
The official source consulted does not describe the retake, revaluation or improvement policy for SSC Persian, so we do not state one. Retake and improvement rules are announced by the board each session. Check the board's notifications and ask your school or divisional board office for the procedure and deadlines that apply to you.
Is this page officially affiliated with the board?
No. This is independent practice and guidance material written for candidates searching for SSC Persian. It is not produced, endorsed or approved by MSBSHSE or e-Balbharati. For anything binding - dates, fees, eligibility, paper pattern or results - use the board's official website and your school's notices.
