About Maharashtra
MSBSHSE (Pune) uses a 35% pass bar for SSC and HSC — higher than the 33% floor common in many northern boards — and the School Education Department also publishes an explicit Dec-31 age table for nursery and Class 1.
What this calculator does
Enter the child’s date of birth and admission year. Age is computed as on 31 December of the admission year, then checked against the 3+ minimum for Playgroup / Nursery (pre-Class 1).
Private schools may publish additional internal windows; government Sarvodaya / DoE notices remain the authority for public seats.
