Maharashtra Board HSC Syllabus 2024 (All Subjects)

Maharashtra Board HSC Syllabus 2024: Recently Maharashtra Board tweaks to change HSC paper pattern for the 2023-2024 session. The question paper pattern will be based on a national framework curriculum as laid by the Council of Boards of School Education (COBSE).

However, these changes would be only seen in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics subjects in a view so that students could perform well in entrance exams.

The board has taken this decision to mitigate the harm that parents and students used to face due to coaching centres. Keep reading to get a detailed Maharashtra HSC Syllabus 2024.
