The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Pune conducts the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Board Examination for Class XII. Dayanand Science College is affiliated with the Maharashtra State Board and has maintained a proud tradition of excellent academic performance in the HSC Board Examination for many years.
Success in the HSC Board Examination is extremely important in a student’s academic journey. Students aspiring for admission to medical, engineering and other professional courses also prepare for competitive examinations such as NEET, JEE and MHT-CET. Along with performance in these entrance examinations, students are required to fulfil the prescribed eligibility criteria in the HSC Board Examination.
The Maharashtra State Board conducts the Class XII examination through its divisional boards in a systematic, disciplined and transparent manner. The annual HSC examination is generally conducted in February/March. The Board also provides opportunities for students to improve their performance through improvement/re-examination provisions as per the prescribed rules. Students who are unable to appear for certain subjects may also avail themselves of the provisions available under the Board regulations.
Minimum 75% attendance required to appear for the HSC Board Examination
As per the prescribed Board regulations, students are required to fulfil the minimum attendance (75%) requirement for appearing for the HSC Board Examination. The examination application process is generally completed during the academic year before the Board Examination. Students are given appropriate opportunities to verify their examination applications and make necessary corrections within the stipulated period.
To provide students with opportunities for skill development, vocational education and employment, vocational and bifocal courses are offered as per the prescribed curriculum. The Bifocal Course provides students with an opportunity to pursue vocational subjects along with their regular academic studies, giving importance to both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The evaluation pattern of different subjects is based on the guidelines prescribed by the Maharashtra State Board.
