Maharashtra Board MSBSHSE SSC 10th Result 2019: Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) announced Secondary School Certificate (SSC) results on Saturday with 77.10 per cent of students who took the examination cleared it. This year the pass percentage saw a sharp dip with it being 12.31 per cent lower than the previous year when it was 89.41 per cent.

Shakuntala Kale, Chairperson of MSBSHSE, said that the reason for a dip in pass percentage could be the change in examination pattern this year.

“This is the lowest SSC examination result in the state in recent years. The last time it was so low was in 2007 when 78 per cent of students had cleared the SSC exams. The reason for this could be the change in examination pattern. Also, the system of ‘internal examination’ conducted within the schools was discontinued for language and social science subjects. Thus it may have made it difficult to clear those subjects,” said Kale.

The results were open for the candidates to see online at 1 pm on the website. Students could check their results on http://www.mahresult.nic.in; http://www.sscresult.mkcl.org and maharashtraeducation.com. The students and parents can also use SMS service (BSNL) to check the result by sending a message: MHSSC <space> <seatno> to 57766.
