For a State Board family in Nanded, the two public exams are the SSC at the end of Standard X and the HSC at the end of Standard XII. Both run through the board's Latur division. In a city where homes speak Marathi, Urdu and Hindi, and schools teach in Marathi, English, Urdu and semi-English mediums, one subject causes more quiet worry than its marks suggest: English. This guide reads the board's own documents to explain how English is examined when it is a second or third language at SSC, how the compulsory HSC English paper is built, which language papers a child can take, and how a tutor who suits your child and your part of the city is found. Because the board revises its documents, check anything important on mahahsscboard.in itself.
Both public exams for State Board students, the SSC after Standard X and the HSC after Standard XII, are held by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE). The board is organised into divisional boards. Its own SSC statistics list Nanded as a district of the Latur division, together with Latur and Dharashiv. Day to day, parents rarely deal with the division directly; the school or junior college handles exam forms, hall tickets and practicals.
For tuition, the useful fact is that every division sits identical papers. Whatever a Nanded child writes in March, a child in Kolhapur or Amravati writes too. A tutor should therefore work from the board's published lists and schemes, which anyone can read, rather than from guesswork about local papers.
The board's SSC general-subject list separates first languages from second and third languages, each with its own code. The HSC list uses different codes again. Knowing the right codes is the quickest way to tell a tutor exactly what your child sits.
| Language | SSC first language | SSC second or third language | HSC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marathi | 01 | 16 | 02 |
| Hindi | 02 | Also listed among composite and other options | 04 |
| English | 03 | 17 | 01, taken by every HSC student |
| Urdu | 04 | 18 | 05 |
Two points follow. A child in a Marathi-medium or Urdu-medium school often meets English as a second or third language at SSC, under code 17, which has its own paper and its own scheme, quite different from English as a first language (03). Then, at junior college, English becomes code 01 for everyone, whatever the medium before. That jump is where many students need help. Every HSC student also takes two compulsory subjects, Health and Physical Education (30) and Environment Education and Water Security (31).
The board's revised evaluation scheme for English as a second or third language in Standard X, filed on its Evaluation page, sets an 80-mark written paper and 20 internal marks. The written paper is built from the coursebook and from unseen material, in six sections:
| Section | What is tested | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| I. Language study | Short vocabulary and grammar activities: spellings, alphabetical order, punctuation, word chains, prefixes and suffixes | 10 |
| II. Textual passages | Two passages from the coursebook with reading, vocabulary and grammar activities | 20 |
| III. Poetry | A poem for comprehension and another for appreciation | 10 |
| IV. Non-textual passage | An unseen passage for comprehension, then a summary of another unseen passage | 15 |
| V. Writing skills | A formal or informal letter, a dialogue or speech, information transfer between words and charts, and expanding a theme or writing a news report | 20 |
| VI. Translation | Words, sentences and one idiom or proverb, from English into the medium of instruction | 5 |
The scheme spreads marks as 40% easy, 40% medium and 20% challenging, and says the same format applies to the Standard IX term exams, the Standard X preliminary exam and the board exam. That is useful: a child who practises the format from Standard IX meets nothing new in March. The translation section is the one part where the home medium helps directly, since it asks for English rendered into Marathi, Urdu or whichever language the school teaches in.
The internal marks are split evenly. Ten come from an oral exam: five for listening, five for speaking. Listening may mean answering at least five objective questions on a passage or poem read aloud, writing down five sentences or ten words as they are spoken, or answering questions on a short audio clip. Speaking may mean giving an opinion on a book the child has read, speaking on a set topic, or giving views on a lesson or poem in eight to ten sentences.
The other ten come from two assignments of five marks each, chosen from a list that includes filling in forms, preparing a printed slide presentation, writing a formal and an informal e-mail, creating a blog in print, and collecting proverbs and idioms with their meanings in the medium of instruction. These marks are within reach of any child who starts early. A tutor can hear the child speak English aloud every week, which a large class rarely allows, and check that both assignments are done well before the deadline.
For a Standard IX or X student from a Marathi-medium or Urdu-medium school, the scheme points to a simple rotation. Writing skills carry 20 marks and respond fastest to practice, so they deserve a fixed slot. Unseen passages carry 15 more and depend on reading speed, which grows only with regular reading.
| Session | Main work | Ten-minute extra |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | One coursebook passage with its activities, marked | Five language-study items |
| 2 | One letter or dialogue, written and corrected | Speaking aloud on a set topic |
| 3 | An unseen passage and a summary of another | Translation of six words and two sentences |
| 4 | A poem for appreciation, then information transfer | Listening practice, then a check on the assignments |
The English home tutor in Nanded page covers English at other stages, and our Nanded maths and science pages cover the main SSC subjects.
At junior college, English becomes one paper for all. The board's Standard XII blueprint describes an 80-mark activity sheet in four sections: prose 34 marks, poetry 14, writing skills 16 and the novel 16. By question type, 18 marks are objective, 36 short answer and 26 long answer.
The unseen extract is the hardest part for a student who studied English as a third language, because it rewards reading speed built over years. A tutor should start unseen reading in the first term of Standard XI, not after the prelims.
Beyond English, each junior college runs its own combinations from the board's optional list. Science students take codes such as Physics 54, Chemistry 55 and Biology 56; commerce students meet Book Keeping and Accountancy 50 and Economics 49; and maths comes as two papers with similar names, 40 and 88, so a tutor must know which your child sits. Many science students also sit MHT-CET; it is run by the State Common Entrance Test Cell in PCM and PCB groups, and its rules should be read only on cetcell.mahacet.org. For that side, see JEE home tutor in Nanded and NEET home tutor in Nanded, and our Nanded physics, chemistry and biology pages. Children on other boards can use the CBSE and ICSE and ISC pages for Nanded.
A board-year tutor is a two-year arrangement for many families. Before agreeing, ask how the tutor will reach you in heavy rain and in the weeks before the exams, not only in an ordinary week.

Our State Board pages for other cities each take a different slice of the board's documents: Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Pune, Mumbai, Nashik and Solapur. The city hubs for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Pune, Nagpur and Jalgaon list tutors there.

Nanded comes under the Maharashtra State Board's Latur division. The board's own SSC results statistics list Nanded as a district of that division, together with Latur and Dharashiv. The papers themselves are the same across Maharashtra, and schools and junior colleges handle forms and hall tickets.
English 03 is English as a first language, while English 17 is English as a second or third language, with its own scheme. A child in a Marathi-medium or Urdu-medium school often takes English 17. Give the tutor the code, because the paper, the coursebook and the marking all differ.
The board's scheme gives 80 marks to the written paper and 20 to internal work. The written paper has six sections: language study, textual passages, poetry, an unseen passage with a summary, writing skills, and translation. The internal 20 are split between an oral exam and two assignments.
The translation section asks the student to put English into the medium of instruction, such as Marathi or Urdu, for five marks. It covers four of six words from the coursebook, two of four sentences, and one of two idioms or proverbs. A Nanded tutor comfortable in your home language helps here.
The oral exam carries ten marks, five for listening and five for speaking. Listening may mean answering questions on a passage, poem or audio clip, or writing sentences as they are read. Speaking may mean giving an opinion on a book, a set topic, or a lesson in eight to ten sentences.
HSC English is divided into prose for 34 marks, poetry for 14, writing skills for 16 and the novel for 16, according to the board's Standard XII blueprint. By type, 18 marks are objective, 36 short answer and 26 long answer. Prose includes an unseen extract of 275 to 300 words.
At junior college every student takes the same English paper, code 01, whatever their earlier medium. A student who studied English as a third language now faces unseen extracts, summaries and longer writing tasks. Starting unseen reading early in Standard XI, with a tutor who marks writing closely, makes the jump easier.
Yes, alongside English (01), the board lists two compulsory subjects for every HSC student: code 30, Health and Physical Education, and code 31, Environment Education and Water Security. Optional subjects vary, because each Nanded junior college decides which combinations it runs, so ask the college before settling on a stream.
