The Maharashtra State Board is using technology to resolve several issues related to its board examinations for std X and XII, for which lakhs of students appear across the state. Every affiliated school now has to create its profile on a portal on the board's website. This is expected to end goof-ups such as allotment of faraway examcentres, inadequate seating arrangements, non-availability of examiners etc.

Ever year schools and junior colleges have to provide their details in time for better arrangement of the board examinations, but many don't do so. Hence the State Board has brought in this digital feature. The profiles of schools and junior colleges will include details such as name, address and number of teachers; to number of buildings, classrooms, benches, alternative arrangement in loss of electricity, ramp for specially-abled candidates etc. Most importantly, each school's location will be geo-tagged.
