The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) declared the results of the SSC (Class 10) examinations on Tuesday, recording a state-wide pass percentage of 94.10%. While the results reflect strong overall performance, this marks a slight decline from last year’s pass percentage of 95.81%.
This year’s SSC exams, held from February 21 to March 17 in two shifts, were conducted at more than 5,000 centres across the state. A total of 16,11,610 students appeared, including 8,64,120 boys, 7,47,471 girls, and 19 transgender candidates. The exams were conducted across nine divisions — Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nagpur, Amravati, Kolhapur, Konkan, and Latur.
Despite the marginal dip in the pass percentage, the overall performance remains consistent with recent years. Notably, girls continued to outperform boys, a trend observed over the past few years. The pass percentage among girls stood at an impressive 96.14%, while boys recorded a pass rate of 92.31% — a gap of 3.83%.
The performance among Divyang (specially-abled) students was also notable. Out of 9,673 registered candidates, 9,585 appeared for the exams and 8,844 passed, translating to a pass percentage of 92.27%. This underlines the ongoing efforts toward inclusive education and active participation by students with disabilities.
Subject-wise and school-wise achievements were noteworthy this year. As many as 24 subjects recorded a 100% pass rate. Among 23,489 schools that participated, 7,924 achieved a perfect 100% result.
“211 students scored a full 100% in their exams — with Latur leading the list with 113 such students,” informed a senior MSHSBSE official, adding that Pune had 12 students getting a perfect score, and Mumbai had 8 such students.
Among regular students, 4,88,745 passed with distinction (first division with distinction), while 4,97,277 secured a first division.
Division-wise, Konkan topped the state with the highest pass percentage of 98.82%, followed by Kolhapur at 96.87% and Mumbai at 95.84%. Other division-wise pass percentages were: Pune – 94.81%, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar – 92.82%, Amravati – 92.95%, Nashik – 93.04%, Latur – 92.77%, and Nagpur – 90.78%, the lowest in the state.
The results highlight both the academic achievements and regional variations in performance, offering insights into the learning landscape across Maharashtra for the academic year 2024–25.
