Maharashtra HSC 2027: Who Has To Fill Application Forms Separately?

Students whose data is not available on FYJC Online will have to visit the respective Divisional Board office and submit the required information.

Similarly, repeat candidates, private candidates with an Enrollment Certificate, students appearing under the grade-improvement scheme or with selected subjects, HSC Vocational students and ITI students seeking Transfer of Credit have to submit their applications through the prescribed online procedure, as their details are not available in FYJC Online.

Students whose APPAR-ID is available must enter the ID while filling out the application form.

Maharashtra HSC 2027 Application: Fee Payment Process

Higher secondary schools and junior colleges have to select the prescribed number of students through the website and pay the exact consolidated examination fee through the SBI online payment gateway.

After payment, institutions must verify the application status of all students included in the payment. The application status should change from “Draft” to “Send to Board”, while the payment status should change from “Not Paid” to “Paid”.

Applications showing “Send to Board” and “Paid” will be considered received by the Board and processed further. Applications that continue to remain in Draft Mode will not be processed.

The Board has also instructed schools and junior colleges not to use the old bank challan. Examination fees will not be accepted in cash.

Maharashtra HSC 2027: Pre-List Verification

Before filling the application forms, junior colleges must ensure that accurate information regarding the college, institution, recognised subjects and teachers has been entered in the College Profile and submitted to the Board.

After the applications have been filled in and submitted, the Pre-List will be made available through the College Login during the application period.

Colleges must download and print the Pre-List and verify all information against the General Register. Students should sign the Pre-List after verifying their details. The principal of the higher secondary school or junior college must also sign and stamp every page of the verified Pre-List.

Maharashtra HSC 2027: Students, Parents Must Verify Details

The Board has pointed out that errors have been found in students' names and dates of birth in the SARAL system. Students and parents should therefore carefully check all details mentioned in the Pre-List or application form printout and sign it only after verification.

To minimise errors while filling out the applications, junior colleges have been advised to create multiple secondary logins under the college's main login. Students can use these logins to fill out their forms in the computer lab, following which the information can be checked through the main college login.

It must be in JPG/JPEG format.
