The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has indicated that the HSC result for 2026 is expected within this week, allaying fears of a delay due to employee protests. A senior board official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that preparations for the result declaration are progressing as scheduled and that the ongoing disagreement between board employees and authorities will not disrupt the timeline.
Official Clarification on Result Timeline
The clarification came after a student, Shlok Singh, wrote to TOI Education seeking clarity on the impact of the protests. In response, the official stated, "There will be no delay in result declaration. The board is preparing to announce the result within this week." The official added that work related to compilation and publication of results is continuing without interruption.
Concerns over a possible postponement arose after reports of protests by board employees gained attention, with some local Marathi television channels suggesting the agitation could push back the HSC result. However, the board official emphasized that the protest has not affected preparations linked to the result declaration.
Exam Schedule and Previous Year Trends
The HSC examinations were conducted from February 10 to March 11, 2026, while practical, viva, and internal assessments were held from January 23 to February 9, 2026. Last year, the Maharashtra board declared the HSC result on May 5, 2025, with an overall pass percentage of 91.88%. Girls achieved a pass rate of 94.58%, while boys recorded 89.51%. In 2024, the HSC pass percentage stood at 93.37%, with results announced on May 21, 2024.
Result Upload and DigiLocker Access
Officials have indicated that result data is in the final stages of uploading and verification. On DigiLocker, the Class 12 board exam notification currently shows "Coming soon," adding to indications that the release may be imminent. The board has stated that results will be made available on mahahsscboard.in and DigiLocker. Students will be able to access digital marksheets by logging in through an Aadhaar-linked mobile number, selecting the Maharashtra board, and entering their exam seat number along with their mother's name as recorded on the hall ticket.
How Students Can Check Results
Candidates can access results through the official MSBSHSE portal using their seat number and other credentials. Digital scorecards will also be available under the "Issued Documents" or "Education" section on DigiLocker after declaration. Students are advised to keep their seat numbers and hall ticket details handy for a smooth process.
