Putting an end to different anticipated dates of state board results, the education Minister of Maharashtra Varsha Gaikawad on Tuesday said that the HSC results can be expected by mid-July and SSC before July ends. Gaikwad was talking to the media in a video press conference when she shared this remark on a question related to results of state board examinations. Though this does not clearly answer the anxious wait of lakhs of students wanting to know their board result; it provides a clarity that it should not be expected before mid-July or rumoured dates should not be believed.

"Due to unprecedented conditions of this time, evaluation process for board papers has been a task starting from transportation of papers through postal department's help among all. Efforts are being taken to complete the work as fast as it can be done and I think we will be in a position to declare HSC results by mid-July and SSC before the month of July ends," told Gaikwad, responding a to a question related to state board result during the conference. The plan is to begin class XI admissions in the month of August.
