The board has uploaded a tentative schedule on its website www.mahahsscboard.in. Objections to the dates can be sent to the board by February 22.

The board has urged students and parents to not believe in rumours regarding board exams.

“We have declared the tentative timetable to help students prepare well for the exams. A final timetable will be sent to the schools soon,” said the board in a release.

Nearly 15 lakh students appear for the HSC exam, while more than 17 lakh students write their SSC exams in Maharashtra every year. While the board conducts these exams in February and March every year, they have been pushed further this year due to the Covid-19 outbreak and the resultant lockdown.
