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.
The Maharashtra board offers this benefit to help students who came close to passing but couldn't meet the exact requirements. It saves them from wasting their academic year or reappearing for the examination.

If a student cannot pass, even after applying for condonation, the marks will be considered ineligible for the benefit.
