Overview
- MSBSHSE, which confirmed the change Saturday, will issue a single A4 marksheet‑cum‑certificate to the current SSC and HSC cohort.
- The new paper carries the student’s photograph and a unique QR code that users can scan in the board’s official app to verify marks and confirm the document is genuine.
- Names will follow the Aadhaar format after government guidance sought to fix past mismatches from the old surname‑first style.
- Schools have been told to check each student’s name and photo, with a web portal open to submit corrections before printing begins.
- The move affects lakhs of students this year and replaces two papers with one, ending the usual six‑month wait for a passing certificate while also cutting printing costs through new tenders.
