The Maharashtra State Council of Examinations (MSCE), Pune, has released the final results of the Class 5 and Class 8 Pre‑Upper Primary and Pre‑Secondary Scholarship Examination held on February 9, 2025. Of the 9,44,463 students who registered, 9,13,258 appeared, and only 2,01,417 qualified—resulting in an overall pass percentage of 22.06%. This year’s performance reflects ongoing academic challenges among Maharashtra’s early learners, with just 31,786 students making the merit list.
The result highlights disparities between the two grades, with Class 5 students achieving a higher pass rate than their Class 8 counterparts. As scholars await their certificates, the results underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve foundational learning outcomes in the state’s primary education sector.

Class-wise MSCE scholarship result breakdown:
Maharashtra class 5 and 8 scholarship result analysisThe overall pass rate of just 22.06% is a clear indicator that foundational learning across Maharashtra needs urgent attention. While many students participated, only a fraction qualified—highlighting gaps in academic preparedness and support.
Notably, Class 5 students performed better than Class 8, pointing to the relative success of early-stage learning interventions. However, the drop in performance by Class 8 suggests that these gains may not be sustained as students progress through the system.
The cluster-wise distribution shows that scholarships are reaching rural and disadvantaged groups, which is encouraging. Still, the low merit list numbers across clusters underscore the need for stronger, targeted academic support—especially in under-resourced areas.
