Maharashtra Board Reopens SSC, HSC Private Exam Registrations For July-August 2025

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has reopened the private candidate registration window for the July-August 2025 SSC (Class 10) and HSC (Class 12) exams. This move is a relief to numerous students who failed to meet the previous registration deadline for the February-March 2025 board exams.

Why This Matters

Up till now, only private candidates were eligible to register for the March board exams. The others had to wait a whole year to sit once more. The Board provides the students with a much-needed second opportunity without delays by opening registrations for the July-August session.
