Class 10, 12 exams Updates: Alert! No extra 30 mins in exam, one day gap between two subjects

Sharad Gosavi, chairperson, Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), said that the pandemic impacted the writing skills of many students. “As regular schools have restarted and internal exams have resumed, no extra time will be allocated to students in exams. It is compulsory for students to reach the exam centre by the given time. No delay will be accepted as it was reported that question papers were shared online during exam last year,” said Gosavi.

He said that unlike 2021-22, examinations will be conducted at exam centres of the board. “We had allocated wards their own schools where they could appear for exams due to the pandemic last year,” said Gosavi. “We have finalised the timetable and it will be shared with the committee soon,” he said.

“Students are certainly doing better. But more writing practice should be done to be able to write fast and neat for the final exam,” said the principal of a city-based school. Prathamesh Joshi, a student of Class 12 who will be appearing for the upcoming board exams, said, “I am daily writing one page to gain speed and improve handwriting. The exam duration is usually three hours for a subject and I will try to attempt all questions in the given time,” said Joshi.
