Free Practice Questions for Maharashtra SSC Science and Technology (MSBSHSE)

No. Official Science and Technology (subject code 72) is a mixed written theory paper (commonly about 80 marks) plus practical/internal assessment (commonly about 20 marks) for a subject total of 100 marks. Papers include short and long answers, numericals, and diagrams. This bank is a free English MCQ study adaptation for concept fluency — not a full written-task substitute, practical substitute, or official paper simulation.

On the MSBSHSE SSC general subject codes list (mahahsscboard.org/sscsub.htm), code 72 is Science and Technology for Class 10 (SSC). It is the integrated science subject taught via Balbharati Science and Technology Part 1 and Part 2 — not a separate pure Physics, Chemistry, or Biology board code for the standard SSC stream.

Part 1 is largely physics- and chemistry-focused (for example gravitation, periodic classification, chemical reactions, electric current effects, heat, light and lenses, metallurgy, carbon compounds, acids–bases–salts, space missions). Part 2 focuses on life science and applied themes (life processes, heredity and evolution, cell biology and biotechnology, environmental management, animal classification, ecosystems/plant study, microorganisms, social health, disaster management). Confirm chapter lists in your current Balbharati edition.

Subject total is commonly 100 marks via about 80 theory + 20 practical/internal. Theory duration is commonly about 2–3 hours depending on the year's scheme. Confirm the timetable on mahahsscboard.in and school notices.

Pass criteria are commonly reported as 35% overall in each subject, with a separate theory floor often cited (about 28/80 for 80-mark theory papers where that split applies, and about 7/20 for practical/internal). Always verify the current MSBSHSE result circular for your sitting.

Science and Technology is examined as part of the Maharashtra SSC public examination. Fees are as notified by MSBSHSE through secondary schools. There is no single fixed public INR amount for every candidate category on the board site — check school circulars for the current schedule.

Prioritise high-weight Part 1 physics (current, light, gravitation, heat) and chemistry (reactions, acids–bases–salts, carbon compounds, periodic table, metallurgy), plus Part 2 life processes, heredity, cell/biotech, environment, microbes, classification, social health, and disaster management. Practise numericals, labelled diagrams, and practicals separately — MCQs alone do not replace official written or lab components.

Selected-response items check concept fluency quickly for definitions, laws, classifications, and short calculations. Official MSBSHSE SSC Science and Technology still requires descriptive answers, numerical working, diagrams, and practical/internal assessment. Always practise model activity sheets and full written responses under timed conditions.

Use MSBSHSE (mahahsscboard.in), the SSC general subject codes page (mahahsscboard.org/sscsub.htm — Science and Technology code 72), and Balbharati / eBalbharati (books.ebalbharati.in) for Science and Technology Standard X Parts 1 and 2 textbooks, syllabi, and school-distributed schemes.
