The Maharashtra Education Department and the State Board has been mulling over the postponement of the Maharashtra SSC Exam 2021 for Class 10 students and Maharashtra HSC Exam 2021 for Class 12 students due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the state. Although the officials from the Education Department or the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) have not clarified anything on this front, media reports have hinted that such a plan is under consideration looking at the worsening pandemic situation across the state. However, a final decision may be taken soon.

Earlier, during a media interaction, Maharashtra School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad also didn’t completely rule out the possibility of postponement of the SSC and HSC Exams 2021 for the Maharashtra Board. Gaikwad said that "I can’t say anything at this moment but, yes, a final decision will be taken in a week itself. I will meet with various stakeholders and see what their views are about exams. Then we will have to seek consent from the chief minister’s office as well regarding the final proposal."
