Maharashtra Board Exams 2026: Guidelines For Appearing In Exam
Students should reach their exam centres at least 30 minutes prior to the examination start time.
They must come in full school uniform and carry their school ID card. Students are also advised to bring their own stationery-black and blue pens, a scale, pencil, eraser, and sharpener-so they have everything they need during the exam.
Like last year, the question papers will not be handed out in advance. Instead, students will receive an additional 10 minutes at the end to read through the paper.
To support students and reduce exam-related stress, the board has launched helpline numbers staffed by trained counsellors. In addition, divisional offices have shared contact details of teachers who can help clear academic doubts.
