The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has decided to move back to the old pattern and split the paper for board exam in March 2016. SSC students will take the science exam in two parts from this academic year. SSC Science Exam paper I & II on different days. Teachers and students welcomed the decision happily. There are similar demands for HSC students also. Students took two papers each for physics, chemistry and biology, but they now take only one for each. This will ensure that students can write both the papers well and increase chances of scoring better marks.
