Around 21,000 mistakes have been detected in the SSC and HSC board examination online forms sent by the city's schools and junior colleges to the state board, with the most common errors being in the students' names.
After a school sends details of its students to the board through online exam forms, the board sends it back a pre-list to cross-check the information for errors before it is finally printed on hall tickets.

Like every year, several errors have been spotted in the details received by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) for hall tickets. This is the first time that the board has received SSC examination forms online, while HSC sent their forms online for the second time. The board has claimed that the hall tickets will reached students early this time, unlike last year.

Laxmikant Pandey, chairman, Mumbai Divisional Board, said, "This time the most common mistakes in the pre-list are in the names. Some schools were also not able to upload pictures of their students online because some submitted pictures which were not of requisite size. We have requested principals to help students if their hall tickets have no pictures. A student can stick the picture on the spot and take the principal's signature on it."

Uday Nare, a board member, said, "Since most schools appoint clerks or a third party to fill the exam forms online, such mistakes are bound to happen. If a school arranges for a photographer, it can get students' pictures clicked in the uniform size as asked by the board. This way there will be no mistakes."

Junior colleges have requested the board to send hall tickets early after the fiasco last year, when submission of Environment EVS project marks got delayed due to hall tickets reaching them late.

Anil Deshmukh, general secretary of the Maharashtra Federation of Junior College Teachers' Organization, said, "When there are 2,000 students in one college, it becomes difficult for just two teachers to handle the EVS projects of all students. Last year, when the hall tickets came late, teachers who had collected the projects in December had to wait for the tickets to arrive. After they arrived, they had to search for the name and hall ticket number of each student and then give the marks."
