Of the 15,60,154 students who enrolled for the Maharashtra SSC exam, 15,49,326 showed up and 14,84,431 were successful. For girls, the pass rate is 97.21%, while for boys it is 94.56%.

The Maharashtra government declared in 2017 that students from state board programs who demonstrated proficiency in drawing, classical art and folk art would receive an additional 10 to 25 marks in their Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams.

A trio comprising Shruja Ghanekar, Kaivalya Deshpande and Prajakta Naik scored perfectly in their SSC 10th board exams while tending to their creative pursuits.

Taking the fifth of the seven tests to earn a Visharad in music this year, Prajakta Naik passed her Madhyama Purna exam with distinction in the classical music category. Additionally, she received a perfect score of 100 in her SSC board exams. Naik received 13 points for her superiority in classical music during the board exams. Naik studied diligently all year long and made time for her love of classical singing. She emphasised the importance of striking a balance between academics and other passions. 

Kaivalya Deshpande, a different student, also received a perfect score of 100 percent and a three percent reward for his Tabla accomplishments. Deshpande said that he had pursued his passion for tabla and that it was something he cherished. He stated that he had been studying it before joining the first standard. Nobody at the time anticipated that he would get bonus points for this on his board exam one day.

It was Kathak for Shruja Ghanekar. The three pupils attended Madhav Sadashiv Golvalkar Guruji Vidyalay for their education.

The Government Resolution (GR) states that students will receive 15 extra marks in their SSC results if they study classical dance, drama and music for at least five years and pass at least five tests from government-approved institutions. Students who pass three exams will receive an additional 10 marks. In the exams, ten students from the Pune division received perfect scores.

At a press conference, the Maharashtra SSC result 2024 was revealed at 11 a.m. The overall pass rate for this year is 95.81 percent, 1.98 percent higher than the pass rate for the previous year. Konkan has again shown itself to be the best performing region this year, scoring 99.01 percent.
