No extra 10 minutes

In another move to prevent cheating during the Maharashtra board exams 2024, the Board has decided not to give an extra 10 minutes of reading time before the commencement of exam. According to the sources, the extra 10-minute reading time has been withdrawn as the alleged paper leak cases happened during the time period given for reading the question paper.

While the extra 10 minutes before the commencement of exam has been removed. The board has added 10 minutes extra time to attempt the question paper, meaning students will get 190 minutes to answer the theory paper.

Last year, Maha HSC paper leak took place sometime before the scheduled start of the exam at 11 am, in which more than 31,000 students were set to appear in Buldhana district.
