MSBSHSE has made it compulsory for students appearing for the SSC, and HSC Board Exam in 2023 to have a minimum of 75% attendance. The same rule was applied during the pre-pandemic session but due to the pandemic state did not approve the proposal of 75% mandate attendance for the board exam conducted during the March April 2022 session.

The recently proposed attendance criteria will be applicable for both the terms i.e. (June - October and October - February)
