THE DO’S AND DO NOT’S FOR MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD

The Maharashtra State Board does offer a good variety of courses for its students to choose from and excel in. In fact with time the Maharashtra State Board exams have gathered in both popularity and also numbers of students appearing for it. Students appearing for the Maharashtra State Board SSC Exams have kept on increasing at a striking rate. Both girls as well as boys attempt the SSC Exams Board papers. Over the past few years there has again been a constant positive rise in the SSC results. While more and more girls passing with flying colures is also a great sign.

The Maharashtra State Board SSC Exams may not be the best when compared with the many other boards out there. However, none may deny the simplicity of SSC Exams which sees the student appear for their paper without any stress. The SSC Syllabus brings together a perfect blend of the many different subjects and covers all the important and needed topics. The language used is also crisp, precise and to the point. This is another specialty which sees students not usually complaining about their SSC Syllabus being difficult or so. The only problem here is that the syllabus tends to get a dated feel top it when compared with some of the other boards.

One may compare the Maharashtra State Board with the other Board exams from India as well as International Boards. The SSC Exams are similar to the GCSE Board in the England. However, there is a lot left asking if one does a comparison test with the English counterpart. This in terms the exclusive use of technology or for that matter the constant updating of syllabus. Another area where the Maharashtra State Board lacks is in the number of field trips it takes the students on or for that matter the using of Audio-visuals while teaching. It is a proven fact that students greatly respond to audio-visuals. Subjects like science, history and geography can be made greatly more interesting using these techniques. Maharashtra State Board should also then again see to it that the content be updated, as in the latest advancements in a particular subject should regularly be made a part of the SSC Syllabus. Better usage of computers for once and the internet all the more can do wonders to stimulating the students’ minds. This apart stressing more on the ancient Indian languages like Sanskrit and Tamil or for that matter any regional language would also do a world of good. More than sixteen lakh students appeared for the Maharashtra State Board exams in 2010, of whom about nine lakh were boys and more than seven lakh were girls. The rise of private tuitions and coaching classes currently also shows the dedication from parents who spend thousands of rupees in monthly tuition fees. They do so just that they leave no stone unturned while preparing the first step for their son or daughter’s bright academic future. A rare dark spot comes in the alarming number of student suicides every year. The Maharashtra State Board though should again be lauded in this regard for coming up with consulting programs for parents and students with psychologists. But this has to be done on a far greater level to yield better results.
