The board announced the schedule in a press note on Thursday, September 17, giving schools, junior colleges and students time to plan their academic preparation.

Students should note that practical, graded, oral and internal evaluation will be conducted before the written examinations.

NINE DIVISIONAL BOARDS TO CONDUCT EXAMS
The examinations will be conducted through Maharashtra’s nine divisional boards — Pune, Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Amravati, Nashik, Latur and Konkan.
The board said the dates have been announced in advance to help schools and junior colleges plan their curriculum and to reduce exam-related stress among students.
However, these are probable dates. The detailed subject-wise timetable will be released separately.
The final schedule will include dates for written examinations as well as practical, oral, graded and internal assessments. Students should rely on the official timetable once it is published on the Maharashtra board’s website.
WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD DO NOW
With the broad examination window now available, students can begin planning their revision and leave time for practical and internal assessments.
Schools and junior colleges can also use the dates to organise teaching and complete the required internal evaluation before the written papers begin.
The board is expected to publish the detailed subject-wise timetable separately.
