Class 10 Board Exams of the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education, commonly called the SSC exams, are in full swing. This year a total of 15,77,256 students have appeared for the SSC examination. 

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education successfully conducted the SSC Class 10 Science and Technology Part 2 paper today, 20th March 2023, from 11 am to 1 pm. After a pretty good Science Paper I held on 17th March, students were relaxed because they got a two-day break to prepare for today’s Science Paper II. It has helped students to prepare well.

The students’ first reactions convey the paper to be easy to moderate and not lengthy. The question paper had a few application-based questions, but they were not very tough. The majority of the students enjoyed solving the crossword question.

Chapter-Wise Distribution of Marks

This year, maximum questions were asked from the chapter ‘Life Processes in Living Organisms Part -2’. It accounted for 11 marks, followed by the chapter ‘Environmental Management’, which accounted for 7 marks.
