The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) is gearing up to announce the SSC (Class 10) and HSC (Class 12) exam timetable for 2026. The datesheet will be released online in PDF format on the official website — mahahsscboard.in — and will include subject-wise exam dates, timings, and exam-day instructions.
Why an Early Release Is Expected
In 2025, the Maharashtra Board released its timetable on November 25. However, since the CBSE has already issued its 2026 datesheet, officials may advance the schedule this year to give schools and students more clarity.
Expected Exam Timeline
Based on the 2025 pattern, the board exams are likely to be held in February–March 2026:
- HSC 2025 Exam Dates: February 11 to March 11
- SSC 2025 Exam Dates: February 21 to March 17
A similar window is anticipated for 2026, with no plan to conduct the exams twice a year.
How Students Can Download the Time Table
Once released, the timetable can be downloaded by following these steps:
- Visit mahahsscboard.in

Expected Exam Shifts
The HSC exams are likely to be held in two sessions, similar to last year:
- Morning shift: 11:00 AM to 2:10 PM
- Evening shift: 3:00 PM to 6:10 PM
SSC exams are expected to follow similar timing slots.

Students can expect the following details in the Maharashtra SSC & HSC 2026 timetable:

No Change in Exam Frequency
The Maharashtra Board has confirmed that SSC and HSC exams will not be held twice. Students will appear for the boards only once, unlike the new two-phase structure followed by CBSE for Class 10.

- HSC registration 2026 for regular, private, vocational and repeater students is underway and ends on September 30, 2025.
- Sample papers and syllabus PDFs for both classes are available on the official portal.
