The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has postponed the deadline for Class 12 examination form submissions to October 20, citing persistent heavy rainfall and flooding across the state.
Initially scheduled to close on September 30, the deadline extension comes on the heels of considerable community uproar, particularly from the regions of Marathwada, Nashik, Solapur, and Ahilyanagar, which have been severely impacted by the weather.
Reacting to parental appeals, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde instructed the School Education Minister to authorize the extension. The official statement confirming the new deadline aims to provide relief to those struggling amid the natural calamities.
