English Exam Student Reactions
The Maharashtra SSC English Exam 2026 has received a largely positive response from students. Many described the paper as easy and well-balanced, with familiar questions from the textbook and grammar sections. Students shared that the reading comprehension was straightforward, the writing section was manageable, and grammar questions were direct.
03 40 PM IST - 27 Feb'26
Verb Form Question: No Fixed Answer Here!
In the exam today, students came across the question:
“Fill in the blank with the proper form of the verb as per the subject: The hermit __________ to the king.”
Many students were confused because no base verb was provided in the question. Since the verb itself was not given, there is no single correct answer.
Students could have written different grammatically correct verbs such as spoke, said, went, talked, or bowed, depending on how they understood the sentence. As long as the verb agreed with the subject and made meaningful sense, it should be considered correct.
03 30 PM IST - 27 Feb'26
Compound Words Confusion Cleared!
In the Maharashtra SSC English exam, the question “Write two compound words of your own” left some students wondering about the correct answers.
There is no single fixed answer for this question.
Students simply had to write any two valid compound words (for example, notebook, sunlight, football, classroom, etc.). As long as the words were correctly formed and meaningful, they should receive marks.
So, there’s no need to worry if your answer was different from your friends’. If the compound words were correct, you’re on the safe side!

08 00 AM IST - 27 Feb'26
Grammar: The "Direct-Indirect" Reporting Verbs
Expect a dialogue transformation.
Expert Tip: Don't just use "said" or "told." Use specific reporting verbs for better marks:
If it's a question: Use enquired or asked.
If it's a request: Use requested or entreated.
If it's a command: Use ordered or instructed.
07 00 AM IST - 27 Feb'26

05 00 AM IST - 27 Feb'26
SSC Board Maharashtra English Exam 2026: Poetic Appreciation: The "Two-Poem" Strategy
The board often cycles through "Where the Mind is Without Fear" and "The Pulley."

04 00 AM IST - 27 Feb'26
Unit 4: "The Alchemy of Nature" Vocabulary Focus
Board trends suggest a high probability of a textual passage from Unit 4. Specifically, focus on the passage describing the Hibiscus plant or the Spider’s web.
