If you are a Class X student of the Maharashtra state board, failing or scoring low in Mathematics and Science no longer means a complete halt to your educational journey. According to the updated provisions in the revised State Curriculum Framework (SCF), released by the SCERT, students scoring between 20 and 35 marks in these subjects will still  be able to continue their education and be allowed to move to junior college.

Historically, failing in Mathematics has been a common struggle for students. A familiar refrain for many was, "Scored well in all subjects but failed in Maths." This stigma and fear often prevent students from advancing in their academic careers. However, the updated framework now offers two choices for students in this predicament: they can either reattempt the exam or move forward with an SSC certificate that includes a special section, acknowledging their partial success in Mathematics and Science.
