The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has released the tentative schedule for the 2027 SSC and HSC examinations. The advance announcement is intended to help students, schools and junior colleges prepare their academic plans ahead of the detailed subject-wise timetable.
According to the announced schedule, the Class 12 HSC written examinations will be held from February 8 to March 16, 2027. The Class 10 SSC written examinations are scheduled between February 15 and March 11, 2027.
The board issued the probable examination schedule on September 17, 2026. Since the dates are preliminary, students should wait for the final timetable before making subject-specific examination plans.
Students will have separate windows for practical work, oral examinations, graded activities and internal assessments before the written papers begin.

|---|---|---|
| HSC Class 12 | Practical, oral, graded and internal assessment | January 20 – February 6, 2027 |
| HSC Class 12 | Written examination | February 8 – March 16, 2027 |
| SSC Class 10 | Practical, oral, graded and internal assessment | January 28 – February 13, 2027 |
| SSC Class 10 | Written examination | February 15 – March 11, 2027 |
HSC assessment activities are scheduled to start on January 20, followed by the written examinations from February 8. For SSC students, practical and internal assessment activities are expected to begin on January 28, with the written examination period starting on February 15.

Schools and junior colleges can similarly use the preliminary schedule to plan the completion of their syllabus and internal evaluation activities.
