The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has concluded the SSC Class 10 Maths Part 2 (Geometry) examination today, March 9. The exam was conducted in the morning session from 11 am to 2 pm at various examination centres across the state.

Students need to score at least 33% marks in each subject to clear the Maharashtra SSC board exam. The Maharashtra SSC maths result will be calculated by combining marks from both 40-mark theory papers (Algebra and Geometry) and 20 internal assessment marks to make a total of 100.

Students who fall short by 2–3 marks may be granted grace marks to help them meet the minimum passing requirement of 35 per cent.

Questions in the Maharashtra Class 10 Maths Part 2 (Geometry) exam 2026 were asked from the prescribed syllabus, including key chapters such as Similarity, Pythagoras Theorem, Circle, Geometric Constructions, Co-ordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, and Mensuration. These chapters together account for the 40 marks allotted to the Geometry paper.

Maharashtra SSC Maths Paper 2026 Marks Distribution

The Maharashtra SSC Maths exam for 2026 consists of a total of 100 marks, split into 40 marks for Algebra (Part 1), 40 marks for Geometry (Part 2), and 20 marks for internal assessment. Each written paper is 3 hours long, focusing on objective, short, and long-answer questions.

Maharashtra Class 10 Maths 2026: How to evaluate performance

As the MSBSHSE does not publish official answer keys right after the exam, students can refer to unofficial solutions shared by trusted education portals and coaching institutes.

  • Check answers with reliable sources: Compare your responses with set-wise solutions shared by educators, private coaching institutes etc

  • Estimate your score: Use the board’s marking scheme to calculate probable marks. Assign 1 mark for each correct MCQ or very short answer and give partial credit for correct steps in longer questions.

  • Review calculation mistakes: Recheck your answers for minor arithmetic errors, as students often lose marks due to simple calculation slips even when the method is correct.
