The trend tells a clear story. After the pandemic spike of 2021, both exams settled into their normal band, and 2026 is the toughest year in recent memory — HSC dropped to 89.79% (below 90% for the first time since 2020) and SSC fell to 92.09% from 94.10% in 2025. The board has linked the SSC dip to stricter anti-copying steps during the exams. One thing stays the same every year: girls pass at a higher rate than boys, and the Konkan division leads the state.

Maharashtra Board 2026 Results: Key Highlights

Both HSC and SSC saw a dip in 2026. The board has linked the SSC decline to tighter anti-copying measures during the exams, which made the results a truer reflection of student performance.

The Konkan divisional board tops the list almost every year. In 2026 it again led both exams with 94.14% in HSC and 97.62% in SSC.

How to Check MSBSHSE Result 2026

• Click submit and your result appears on the screen.
• Download it and take a printout for your records.

Method 2: Mirror websites

• You can also use mahahsscboard.in, hscresult.mkcl.org (HSC), and sscresult.mkcl.org (SSC).

MSBSHSE Result 2026: Marksheet Details

Once your result loads, check every detail carefully. A small spelling mistake in your name or a wrong subject code can cause problems during admission. If you spot any error, report it to your school or college right away.

Your online marksheet shows the following details:

• Your name and the student’s roll/seat number
• Mother’s name
• Subject-wise marks (theory and practical/internal)
• Total marks obtained and maximum marks
• Result status — Pass, Fail, or "Eligible for compartment"
• Division (Distinction, First, Second, or Pass class)
• Percentage of marks

The online copy is provisional. The original marksheet, which you collect from your school or junior college, is the document you submit for admissions and other official use.

MSBSHSE Grading System and Passing Marks

Maharashtra board uses a marks-and-division system rather than only letter grades. To pass, you need at least 35% in every subject. Your overall percentage then decides which division you fall into.

Division / Class	Percentage Range
Distinction	75% and above
First Division	60% – 74.99%
Second Division	45% – 59.99%
Pass Class	35% – 44.99%
Fail	Below 35% in any subject

The board also has a grace marks rule. If you miss passing by a few marks in one or two subjects, the board may add a small number of grace marks (within set limits) to help you pass. Grace marks are applied automatically — you do not apply for them.

You need at least 35% in each subject. This is true for both SSC and HSC. Falling below 35% in even one subject means you are marked fail (or eligible for compartment) in that subject.

Grace marks are a few extra marks the board adds within fixed limits to help students who just miss the passing line in one or two subjects. They are applied automatically.

MSBSHSE 2026: Division-wise and Subject-wise Pass Percentage

Maharashtra runs nine divisional boards, and each one reports its own pass percentage. Along with the result, the board released this division-wise data plus the stream-wise and gender-wise breakdown. The figures below are from the 2026 declaration.

HSC 2026: Division-wise pass percentage

Pune	91.25%
Amravati	90.92%
Nashik	90.72%
Mumbai	90.08%

Konkan also topped the SSC 2026 results with 97.62%. The divisions of Kolhapur, Nagpur and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar recorded pass percentages close to the state average. Their exact figures are available on mahresult.nic.in.

HSC 2026 Stream-wise Pass Percentage

Stream	Pass % 2026

Commerce	87.03%
Vocational	82.64%
Arts	78.02%

Twenty-six subjects recorded a 100% pass rate. Girls performed better than boys in both exams. In HSC, girls passed at 93.15% against 86.80% for boys. In SSC, girls scored 94.96% against 89.56% for boys.

If a subject pulled your score down, consider the verification or revaluation route before the compartment exam.

MSBSHSE Result 2026: Verification, Photocopy and Revaluation

If your marks look lower than expected, you can apply for re-checking, a photocopy of your answer sheet, and revaluation. You apply online and pay a separate fee for each subject.

For 2026, the online application window ran from 3 to 17 May. The board is expected to release the revised results in June 2026. The process follows a fixed order:

• Verification (re-checking): The board checks whether all your answers were marked and added up correctly. The fee is about ₹50 per subject — the quickest and cheapest option.
• Photocopy of answer sheet: You can ask for a scanned copy of your answer book to see how it was marked. The fee is around ₹400 per paper. Many students take this step before deciding on revaluation.
• Revaluation: After getting the photocopy, you can apply within five working days for a fresh assessment by an examiner, at about ₹300 per subject. Only students who applied for the photocopy can apply for revaluation.

Apply early because the windows stay open only for a short period. If your marks change after this process, the board issues a corrected marksheet.

Should I Apply for Verification or Revaluation First?

Start with verification (re-checking) if you only suspect a totalling error. If you think your answers deserve more marks, get the photocopy first, study it, and then apply for revaluation within five working days.

Can My Marks Go Down After Revaluation?

Revaluation is meant to correct genuine evaluation mistakes. The board issues a revised marksheet only when there is a real change. Read the official rules carefully before you apply.

MSBSHSE Compartment (Supplementary) Exam 2026

Failing one or two subjects does not mean you lose a full year. MSBSHSE holds a compartment (also called supplementary) exam, usually in July 2026. You sit only for the subjects you could not clear, and a pass there lets you complete your SSC or HSC.

Here is how the compartment route works:

• Check your marksheet for the "Eligible for compartment" status against the failed subject.
• Fill the compartment exam form online within the dates announced (expected in June 2026).
• Pay the exam fee for each subject you are appearing in.
• Sit for the exam in July 2026 and check the result, expected in August 2026.

Clearing the compartment exam keeps you on track for Class 11 admission (after SSC) or college admission (after HSC) in the same academic year. Results come out before most admission deadlines close.

What After MSBSHSE Result 2026?

Your next move depends on whether you cleared SSC or HSC. Plan early because admissions in Maharashtra fill up fast once results are out.

After SSC (Class 10):

• Apply for Class 11 admission through the FYJC (First Year Junior College) online portal for your city or region.
• Choose your stream — Science, Commerce, or Arts — based on your marks and interest.
• Diploma and ITI courses are also open to you if you prefer a skill-based path.

After HSC (Class 12):

Admission After Result

Use your result to apply for degree courses such as B.A., B.Com, B.Sc, and B.Tech through college or CET-based admissions.

• Science students can use entrance exam scores (like MHT-CET, JEE, or NEET) for engineering, pharmacy, or medical admissions.
• Keep your original marksheet, school leaving certificate, and category certificate (if any) ready for verification.

If you are unhappy with your marks, wait for the revised result from re-checking before locking your admission choices. If you have a compartment subject, clear it in July so your admission stays on track.
