Maharashtra Class 12 Board Marathi Exam 2026 Student Reviews

Candidates can check out the collected Maharashtra HSC Marathi Exam 2026 student reviews below:

  • Debjani Saha - The paper was well-balanced. I found the paper moderate. However, the Upayojit Marathi (Applied Marathi) section was a little difficult for me. I took the most time to solve this section.
  • Amit Sen - The paper was overall easy. There were no out-of-syllabus questions. The grammar section was the easiest. Anybody who prepared well can get 60 marks at least in the examination.
  • Saumya Jha - Questions from Vibhag 1 and 2 were directly from the textbook. I was really stressed about Samas and Prayog , but the questions today were quite simple. I think I answered all the Grammar questions correctly.

  • 02 30 PM IST - 13 Feb'26

    How many marks was the theory paper, and what was the weightage?

    The written theory paper was conducted for 80 marks. According to the latest 2026 blueprint, the paper was divided into five main sections. Initial reports suggest a "Moderate" difficulty level with a balanced mix of objective and descriptive questions.

  • 06 00 PM IST - 12 Feb'26

    What should I double-check before entering the center at 2:30 PM?

    • Admit Card (Hall Ticket): You will not be allowed entry without a hard copy.

    • Stationery: Carry at least two blue or black ballpoint pens. Avoid using gel pens as they might smudge.

    • Reporting Time: Reach the center by 2:30 PM. The "late entry" rules are strictly enforced for 2026.

    • Electronics: Smartwatches and mobile phones are strictly prohibited. Even a simple calculator is not allowed for language papers.

  • 05 30 PM IST - 12 Feb'26

    How should I divide my time during the 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM shift?

    With a 90-minute window for 80 marks (standard non-practical theory), the pace is brisk.

    • First 45 Mins: Complete Section I (Prose) and Section V (Grammar).

    • Next 45 Mins: Tackle Poetry and Literature sections.

    • Final 60 Mins: Dedicate this to Writing Skills and a thorough 10-minute review to catch spelling errors or missing punctuation.

  • 05 00 PM IST - 12 Feb'26

    What is the key to scoring well in Urdu and Pali?

    *Urdu: Precision in script and calligraphy (Khush-khati) matters. Ensure your Tashreeh (Explanation of verses) includes the poet’s name and the central theme (Markazi Khayal) to secure full marks.

    • Pali: Focus on Translation and Grammar. Pali papers often feature direct translation from Pali to English/Marathi. Accuracy in word-to-word translation is the highest-yielding scoring area here.

  • 04 30 PM IST - 12 Feb'26

    How can I maximize my score in the French and Spanish papers today?

    Focus on the Grammar and Vocabulary sections, as these are "objective" in nature and offer full marks for accuracy. For French, pay close attention to Tense Conjugations (Passé Composé vs. Imparfait). For Spanish, ensure correct Gender-Number Agreement. In the writing section (Essays/Emails), use simple, error-free sentences rather than complex structures that might lead to grammatical slips.

  • 04 00 PM IST - 12 Feb'26

  • 03 30 PM IST - 12 Feb'26
