The Maharashtra State Examination Council (MSEC) has extended the deadline for submitting online application forms for the scholarship examinations scheduled for 22 February 2026 to 8 December 2025.

The Council will conduct the Pre-Upper Primary Scholarship Examination (Class V) and the Pre-Secondary Scholarship Examination (Class VIII) across all districts of the state on the same day.

The original deadline for school registration and student applications was 30 November 2025, but this has now been extended to 8 December 2025.

Schools that have not yet completed the online forms must do so by 8 December with payment of the regular fee. Applications may also be submitted by 15 December with a late fee, 23 December with an extra late fee, and 31 December 2025 with an extra special late fee.

“After the year-end, the application form cannot be submitted online or offline under any circumstances,” said Anuradha Oak, Commissioner of the Examination Council.

“As the Union Budget approaches, we hope education continues to receive strong, future-focused support. Strengthening teaching quality, infrastructure, and innovation is vital to nurturing well-rounded learners. Greater investment in teacher training, digital upskilling, modern classrooms, and new K–12 schools can bridge the urban–rural divide and improve outcomes, especially in government schools. Early emphasis on STEM, skills-based learning, and technology integration will build future-ready competencies. Lower education loan interest rates and stronger international collaborations can further expand access, equity, and global engagement in India’s education ecosystem."

“As the education sector reaches a defining moment, we look to the Union Budget to convert policy vision into measurable outcomes. Priorities must include greater access, student upskilling, and stronger technological capacity, especially in rural and underserved regions. Skill-based education should align curricula with industry needs, while increasing women’s participation in STEM is vital for an inclusive workforce. Strengthening blended learning and revitalising public–private partnerships will enhance quality, access, and efficiency. This budget offers a crucial opportunity to build a future-ready, resilient education system."
