MSBSHSE Grace Marks for SSC Students 2026
Students who appear for the exam without requesting special exemptions or fall short of the required passing marks by 2 or 3 marks in one or more subjects are eligible for condonation of marks.
However, students appearing with exemptions will be granted an automatic condonation of a maximum of 13 marks for passing the Maha SSC examination. The marks will be divided in proportion to the number of subjects of failure, but it cannot exceed 3 marks in any one subject.
