Maharashtra SSC Science Syllabus 2023-24: Check Maharashtra Class 10 Science Syllabus 2023-24

Maharashtra SSC Science Syllabus 2023-24: Maharashtra Board released the SSC Science syllabus 2023-24 for all general and private students at www.mahahsscboard.in. The Maharashtra Board SSC Science is one of the core subjects along with English, Mathematics, Social Science, and one optional subject. The present Maha SSC syllabus of Science and Technology for class 10 is based on the principles and themes as per NCF 2005. The Science syllabus is divided into three sub-subjects - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology which cover a total of 6 chapters. 

Some of the cross-disciplinary topics that are included are, Food, Materials, The Living World, How Things Work, Moving Things, People and Ideas, Natural Phenomena, and Natural Resources. The Maharashtra 2024 10th SSC Science Exam 2024 will be conducted for 100 marks, out of which 80 marks will be for the theory exam, and the remaining 20 marks will be based on internal assessment. Maharashtra SSC Science Exam 2024 will be held in an offline mode for a duration of three hours. The state board has already released the Maharashtra Board SSC timetable 2024.
