Is Maharashtra Board syllabus same as CBSE?

<p>No, CBSE syllabus and Maharashtra Board are not the same. There are certain key differences between these two boards which parents and students should consider before choosing which board they want to study in. Here are some of the main differences between Maharashtra and CBSE boards:</p><ol><li aria-level="1">CBSE is a central board that falls under the purview of the&nbsp;central government, while Maharashtra board falls under state government purview, which means that it is managed by the government of Maharashtra.&nbsp;</li><li aria-level="1">The syllabus, curriculum, subjects and course material of both boards differ quite a bit. CBSE curriculum is formed by the&nbsp;NCERT&nbsp;while Maharashtra curriculum is formed by the&nbsp;State government department of education.&nbsp;</li><li aria-level="1">Since CBSE is a national board, it gives&nbsp;priority to English as the medium of education and communication. However, since Maha board is a state managed board, it gives&nbsp;priority to regional languages&nbsp;like Marathi, Hindi, Kannada, etc. with English being taught as the first or second language, depending on the schools.</li><li aria-level="1">Most CBSE schools are private and thus the&nbsp;overall cost of education in CBSE board is usually higher than state board. Since Maharashtra board schools are state-managed, it is widely available in most public schools, as well as private ones, and so it has lower fees.&nbsp;</li><li aria-level="1">The CBSE board is&nbsp;uniform throughout the country, which means that children can transfer from one school to another in a different state, while still learning the same syllabi. On the other hand, since the Maharashtra board syllabi is state-specific, changing schools inter-state is not very feasible.&nbsp;</li><li aria-level="1">Another point of difference between the two boards is the range of subjects offered. Again, since CBSE is a centralised board, it offers a&nbsp;limited variety of subjects, &nbsp;especially in languages, arts and humanities. On the other hand, Maha board offers quite a range of subjects in all disciplines, including numerous languages.&nbsp;</li><li aria-level="1">Since CBSE is also the board that controls a lot of national competitive exams, the board&nbsp;focuses a lot on preparing children for such exams. However, Maharashtra board focuses more on holistic academic knowledge, &nbsp;without focusing on any particular competitive exams.&nbsp;</li></ol>
