Across Maharashtra, a total of 81,991 students scored above 90 per cent, whereas 96,811 students scored below 45 per cent. A total of 5,58,021 students secured a distinction (75 per cent and above), and 5,31,822 students scored first class (60 per cent and above). Similarly, in Mumbai, 97,354 students scored 75 per cent and above, whereas 1,18,006 students scored 60 per cent and above.

"Even this year, the Konkan division topped the list, while the Nagpur division dropped to the bottom among the nine divisional boards. With each passing year, the performance has been improving. Due to the pandemic and online schooling, lenient conditions were implemented during the pandemic years, including a reduction of the syllabus. Last year, the syllabus was back to 100 per cent. The results fluctuated from batch to batch, and the difficulty of the question papers had an impact on the pass percentage. However, this year no time was lost for students, and the syllabus was completed swiftly," said Sharad Gosavi, chairman of MSBSHSE.
