Never Miss an Exam Update
Maharashtra SSC Math Exam Pattern 2024-25 is available on the official website of Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education to be downloaded in a PDF format. The syllabus for mathematics is divided into two parts, algebra and geometry, to be studied individually by the students. There will be two papers, separate papers for both parts, and each paper will be conducted for 40 marks. The question paper will consist of MCQs, fill-in-the-blanks, short answer type questions, long answer type questions, and very long answer type questions. Students must complete the syllabus on time and then pick up the Maharashtra SSC Math Sample Paper 2024-25 for revision. It is compulsory to get passing marks in both the papers for algebra and geometry. Students can check out more information about the Maharashtra SSC Math Exam Pattern 2024-25 here.
