Planning your revision around the Maharashtra board exams? Here’s the good news — you don’t have to guess anymore. The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has announced the overall Maharashtra Board Exam Dates 2027 for both Class 10 (SSC) and Class 12 (HSC), so the revision calendar can finally take real shape.
One honest clarification up front, because plenty of sites blur it: what the board has announced so far is the overall exam window — the press note dated 17 September 2026 — not the subject-wise timetable. That detailed PDF, with paper-wise dates and subject codes, is expected on the official website mahahsscboard.in between October and November 2026. Everything below uses the board’s announced windows, and nothing here invents a subject date the board hasn’t given yet.
Maharashtra HSC Exam Dates 2027 – Class 12
Class 12 students go first. The HSC written theory examinations run for over five weeks, with practicals and internal assessments wrapped up before theory begins.
| HSC Examination | Dates |
|---|---|
| Practical, oral, graded and internal evaluation | 20 January to 6 February 2027 |
| Written theory examinations | 8 February to 16 March 2027 |
Maharashtra SSC Exam Dates 2027 – Class 10
Class 10 follows a week behind Class 12 on theory, with its own practical window in late January and early February.
| SSC Examination | Dates |
|---|---|
| Practical, oral, graded and internal evaluation | 28 January to 13 February 2027 |
| Written theory examinations | 15 February to 11 March 2027 |
Exam Timings and Shifts
Theory papers will be held in two daily sessions — morning from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and afternoon from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM — with an extra 10 minutes given for reading the question paper. Your own paper’s shift will be printed in the detailed timetable, so don’t assume a subject is a morning paper until that PDF lands.
The exams cover all nine divisional boards of MSBSHSE: Pune, Nagpur, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Latur and Konkan. The board said it announced these probable dates early so schools and junior colleges could plan the curriculum and students wouldn’t be left stressed by a last-minute schedule.
Two Things Worth Knowing Before You Plan
First, the fee waiver. The Maharashtra Board has waived examination fees for Class 10 and 12 students in 265 drought-hit talukas, following a Government Resolution dated 25 September 2026. If your school falls in one of those talukas, you won’t pay the exam fee while submitting the online application form — check with your school rather than assuming, because the exemption is applied taluka-wise.
Second, the registration clock. School-level submission of applications with the regular fee runs till 31 October 2026. That’s ten days from now — if your school hasn’t finished your form yet, chase it this week, not next.
What Happens After the Exams?
Results for both HSC and SSC 2027 are expected in May 2027, continuing the board’s recent trend of progressively earlier declarations. Students who don’t clear a paper will get another shot through supplementary examinations, expected in July–August 2027. And for students tracking other boards’ schedules, our CBSE Date Sheet 2027 post covers where the national board stands, while the Bihar Board 12th Result 2027 and UP Board 12th Result 2027 pages track those boards’ timelines.

How to Use These Dates for Revision
Windows this wide are useful only if you turn them into a plan. For HSC students, the practical window (20 January to 6 February) is the real deadline — your theory preparation has to be substantially done before practicals eat your days, because February will disappear faster than you expect. A workable shape: finish first full revisions by mid-December, use January for mock papers under timed conditions, and treat the practical weeks as light-theory time rather than fresh study.
SSC students get a slightly kinder shape, with theory starting 15 February, but the same logic holds — practicals from 28 January will break your rhythm if you haven’t banked revision before them. And whatever your class, build your plan around the detailed timetable when it arrives, not around these windows. A subject you assumed was late in the window might sit in the first week, and that’s a nasty surprise to get in November.
Hall Tickets and Exam-Day Basics
Hall tickets and roll number slips will be issued through your school in the last week of January 2027 — you don’t download them yourself the way competitive-exam candidates do. When yours arrives, check the centre, the subject dates and the shift against the detailed timetable the same day. If anything mismatches, your school is the first port of call, not the board’s helpline. Carry the hall ticket to every paper, reach the centre early enough for the 10-minute reading time to actually help you, and remember the two-session day: a morning paper and an afternoon paper on the same date are a real possibility, so plan food, rest and travel between sessions in advance.
