The enthusiasm for the scholarship exam is evident among students in the state. Schools are conducting practice sessions for students in the fifth and eighth grades to prepare them for the scholarship exam. Schools are leaving no stone unturned in preparing students for the scholarship exam. With the extension of the application deadline, schools that have not yet registered their students for the scholarship exam will greatly benefit from this extended period.
The scholarship examination is scheduled to be held on February 22, 2026. The Maharashtra State Examination Council, Pune, has organized the academic examination this year as well, as it does every year. The deadline for application submission has been extended to December 15. Overall, students can apply until December 15. And most importantly, this date will be the final deadline for school registration and student registration with regular fees.
Where to fill the application? : To fill the application for the scholarship exam, students should visit the official website www.mscepune.in or puppssmsce.in. The board has also announced the dates for late fees. The deadline with late fees is set from December 16 to December 23. The date with extra late fees is set from December 24 to December 27. If delayed further, candidates will have to pay a special extra late fee, and the deadline for that will be until December 31.
The important notice is that after December 31, applications will not be accepted under any circumstances, either online or offline. Therefore, it will be convenient for every student to register the application with the specified application fee before December 15.
