The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) on Saturday declared the Class 12 (HSC) results with an overall pass percentage of 89.79 per cent, marking a decline of 2.09 percentage points from last year’s 91.88 per cent. The board attributed the dip to the strict implementation of a copy-free campaign, CCTV surveillance, and disciplinary action across examination centres.
Mumbai division performed fifth-best in the state, with a passing percentage of 90.08. Announcing the results, Board Chairman Trigun Kulkarni said the anti-copying drive was implemented rigorously across all nine divisional boards.
The board has opened applications for mark verification, photocopies of answer sheets, and re-evaluation from May 3 to May 17, to be submitted online. Students seeking to improve their performance can also appear under the Class Improvement Scheme, with up to three attempts scheduled between June 2026 and July 2027.
