Maharashtra HSC Time Table 2027: Class 12 Exam Dates and Status

MSBSHSE has not released the subject-wise Maharashtra HSC time table 2027 yet. On 6 November 2026 the board's notices page has no Class 12 date sheet for February-March 2027. The board has announced the exam window, though: written papers from Monday 8 February to Tuesday 16 March 2027, and practical, grade, oral and internal assessment exams from Wednesday 20 January to Saturday 6 February 2027.

Both windows come from the board's press note dated 17 September 2026, signed by its Secretary, Dr Deepak Mali. The note calls them probable dates and says the detailed subject-wise time table will be put up separately on the board's website.

Is the Maharashtra HSC time table 2027 out?

Not yet. The newest exam notices on mahahsscboard.in, up to 5 November 2026, are about exam forms and private-candidate enrolment.

Last year the board announced the 2026 windows in a notice dated 13 October 2025 and put out the final subject-wise time table 18 days later, on 31 October 2025, which was 102 days before the first paper. This year the window came almost a month earlier, yet 50 days have passed without the paper-wise PDF. On last year's 102-day lead it would have appeared by about 29 October, so it is now behind the 2025 pattern. The board has not given a release date.

HSC 2027 vs 2026 exam dates: what moved

Set the two official notices side by side and the 2027 calendar turns out to be the 2026 calendar pulled a few days earlier, with the same length:

• Window announced: 13 October 2025 for the 2026 exams; 17 September 2026 for 2027.
• Practical, oral and internal exams: 23 January to 9 February 2026; 20 January to 6 February 2027. Both last 18 days; 2027 starts 3 days earlier.
• Written exams: 10 February to 18 March 2026, including the online IT and General Knowledge exams; 8 February to 16 March 2027. Both last 37 days; 2027 starts 2 days earlier.
• Subject-wise time table: 31 October 2025; not out on 6 November 2026.
• Hall tickets: released to colleges online from 12 January 2026; the 2027 date is not announced.
• Result: 2 May 2026 at 1 pm; the 2027 date is not announced.

The gap that matters is between practicals and theory. In 2026 the practicals ended on 9 February and English was the next morning. In 2027 the practicals end on Saturday 6 February and the written exams start on Monday 8 February, with only a Sunday in between. So treat 20 January, not 8 February, as the date by which your first full revision should be done. Counting from 6 November, that is 75 days away.

Which HSC paper came first in 2026, and when were the rest?

Until the 2027 PDF is out, the final 2026 time table is the best guide to the order. Morning papers ran from 11 am to 2 pm and afternoon papers from 3 pm to 6 pm. English opened the exams on Tuesday 10 February, Hindi came on 11 February, and Marathi and the other modern Indian languages on 12 February. Then the streams split:

• Science: Physics on 16 February, Chemistry on 18 February, Mathematics and Statistics on 21 February and Biology on 25 February. All four core papers fell inside 10 days, two to four days apart.
• Commerce: OCM on 14 February, Secretarial Practice on 17 February, Mathematics and Statistics on 21 February, Economics on 24 February and Book Keeping and Accountancy on 26 February. That is five papers in 13 days.
• Arts: Political Science on 18 February, Economics on 24 February, Psychology on 4 March, Geography on 7 March, History on 9 March and Sociology on 11 March, mostly in the afternoon slot.
• Vocational and online: bifocal Paper I on 6 March and Paper II on 10 March; the online Information Technology exam from 12 to 14 March and General Knowledge from 16 to 18 March.

Science and Commerce students had finished their main papers by 26 February, three weeks before the window closed, while Arts papers ran into the second week of March. If 2027 keeps that shape, Science and Commerce students need their full-syllabus practice done in January. The board has not said whether the 2027 order will match.

HSC 2027 exam form last date

Junior colleges fill Class 12 exam forms online on mahahsscboard.in. A board notice dated 30 October 2026 extended the regular-fee window to 30 November 2026, and colleges must hand fee receipts and pre-lists to their divisional board by 7 December. Because of the drought in the state, no late or super-late fee will be charged for the February-March 2027 exams, and the board says the dates will not be extended again.

The board asks colleges to take each student's signature on the pre-list after checking it against the general register. When you sign, check your name, your mother's name and your subjects.

When will HSC 2027 hall tickets be released?

Not announced. For 2026 the board opened hall tickets to junior colleges on mahahsscboard.in from 12 January 2026, three days after its 9 January notice. Colleges printed them, the principal stamped and signed each one, and the board told colleges not to charge students any fee for this. Errors in a name, mother's name or date of birth were corrected online through the college for a fee, and a faulty photo was fixed by pasting the student's photo on the hall ticket with the principal's stamp and signature.

How to tell if an HSC time table PDF is genuine

Every page of the 2026 time table carried a footnote: the printed time table that the school or junior college hands out before the exam is final, and copies on other websites should not be treated as valid. Check any 2027 PDF against the board's notices page and your college notice board before you plan around it.

In Class 10? The SSC papers have their own window, 15 February to 11 March 2027, set out in our Maharashtra SSC time table 2027 guide. For other boards, see board exam dates 2027 for all boards.

What to do in the 94 days before 8 February

• Finish the first revision of every subject before practicals start on 20 January.
• Write timed three-hour papers between mid-December and the start of practicals, beginning with English, which opened the 2026 exams.
• For a subject-by-subject plan, read how to prepare for HSC Class 12 Maharashtra Board exams.
