March 2025 SSC Marathi Second/Third Language (अक्षरभारती) board paper
This is the Marathi Second or Third Language paper (Marathi 16, textbook अक्षरभारती), not the First Language paper. It is the Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE) SSC question paper of the February–March 2025 examination, paper code N 771 (“MARATHI (16) (SECOND OR THIRD LANGUAGE) (M), Revised Course”), written on 24 February 2025, 11.00 a.m. The questions are transcribed from the board’s printed question paper (16 pages). Source: the Maharashtra State Board's printed question paper (paper code N 771). Every model answer is an original Doubtly answer, not the board’s answer key. If you study Marathi as your First Language (कुमारभारती, Marathi 01), use our First Language board papers instead.
