New Rules for SSC private candidates @ Maharashtra State
The
minimum qualification to appear for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam
as a private candidate is now Class 5 to instead of Class 4.
Anyone
above 14 years of age, who is not studying in a regular school, can appear for
the exam by filling form 17.
The
change in minimum qualification is made as the Right to Education Act (RTE)
considers Classes 1 to 5 as primary, while earlier it was classes 1 to 4.
Classes 6 to 8 are considered upper primary and 9 and 10 secondary.
“According
to board rules, private candidates must have at least completed their primary
education, so we proposed raising the minimum criteria as primary is now
extended to Class 5 under RTE,” said Gangadhar Mhamane, chairperson of the
Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.
