This year, the Maharashtra State Board's Secondary School Certificate (SSC) results have seen a sharp rise in perfect scorers, with 211 students achieving 100% marks, up from 187 last year. This development is expected to push Class 11 admission cut-offs higher, particularly in prominent junior colleges in cities like Pune and Mumbai. Latur division has once again asserted its dominance, contributing 113 students to the list of perfect scorers.
