Strict Anti-Malpractice Measures
To conduct "copy-free" Maharashtra Board examination 2026, the board has made
CCTV surveillance mandatory in every single examination hall. Schools that fail to meet these requirements will risk losing their status as exam centres.

blacklisted 107 examination centres that were flagged for irregularities or mass copying during the last exam cycle. To deter organised malpractice, the board will also deploy drone surveillance at sensitive locations and enforce Section 144 within a 500-metre radius of all centres.
Digital Support and Counselling
Noticing the immense academic pressure on students, the board has launched a dedicated
YouTube channel, "
Maharashtra State Board Pune," to provide direct guidance. The channel features videos on examination rules, common mistakes to avoid, and strategies for stress management.

Additionally, a network of state-appointedÂ
counsellors has been made available to assist students and parents with exam-related anxiety between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Details regarding this are made available for download on the MSBSHSE official website.
