Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 is prepared by MSBSHSE (Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education) for students studying Hindi as a Second or Third Language in SSC. The syllabus works on building a student's overall grip on the Hindi language, covering गद्य (prose), पद्य (poetry), व्याकरण (grammar), उपयोजित लेखन (functional writing) and अपठित विभाग (unseen passages). It helps students read and understand Hindi text properly, express their own thoughts in written form, use correct grammar rules and study the lessons and poems given in the Hindi Lokbharati textbook published by Balbharati.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus Overview
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi syllabus is divided into two units, known as पहली इकाई (First Unit) and दूसरी इकाई (Second Unit). Together these units cover the full textbook, which is further split into four working sections that decide how the question paper is set. The पाठ्यपुस्तक विभाग (Textbook Section) contains all the prose and poetry lessons, the व्याकरण विभाग (Grammar Section) tests language rules, the उपयोजित लेखन (Functional Writing) section checks writing skills and the अपठित विभाग (Unseen Section) checks reading comprehension. For more clarity, students can go through the table below.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027
The main parts of the Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 are the पाठ्यपुस्तक विभाग, उपयोजित लेखन, व्याकरण विभाग and अपठित विभाग. Students should read every lesson from the Hindi Lokbharati book carefully instead of jumping straight to guess questions, since the board can frame questions from any part of a chapter or poem.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 for पाठ्यपुस्तक विभाग (गद्य एवं पद्य)
This is the biggest part of the syllabus and covers both गद्य (prose) and पद्य (poetry) chapters along with पूरक पठन (supplementary reading) pieces. In पहली इकाई, students study lessons like भारत महिमा, लक्ष्मी, वाह रे ! हमदर्द, मन, गोवा : जैसा मैंने देखा, गिरिधर नागर, खुला आकाश, गजल, रीढ़ की हड्डी and ठेस. This unit also includes poems and pieces such as कृषक का गान, बरषहिं जलद, the two short stories कंगाल and सही उत्तर grouped under दो लघुकथाएँ, along with श्रम साधना, छापा, ईमानदारी की प्रतिमूर्ति, हम इस धरती की संतति हैं, महिला आश्रम, अपनी गंध नहीं बेचूँगा, बूढ़ी काकी and समता की ओर.
दूसरी इकाई repeats and extends the study of बरषहिं जलद, दो लघुकथाएँ, श्रम साधना, छापा, ईमानदारी की प्रतिमूर्ति, हम इस धरती की संतति हैं, महिला आश्रम, अपनी गंध नहीं बेचूँगा, जब तक जिंदा रहूँ, लिखता रहूँ and बूढ़ी काकी, ending with समता की ओर. While preparing these lessons, students should focus on the लेखक का उद्देश्य (writer's purpose), प्रमुख पात्र (main characters), महत्वपूर्ण घटनाएँ (key events) and the भावार्थ (central meaning) of each poem, rather than only cramming ready made answers.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 for उपयोजित लेखन (रचना विभाग)
उपयोजित लेखन, also called functional or creative writing, checks how well a student can put thoughts into a proper written format. This section carries 14 marks and covers several forms of writing that students must practise regularly:
- पत्रलेखन (कार्यालयीन पत्र, व्यावसायिक पत्र, प्रशंसा पत्र, अभिनंदन पत्र)
- वृत्तांत लेखन
- कहानी लेखन
- विज्ञापन लेखन
- निबंध लेखन (वैचारिक निबंध, वर्णनात्मक निबंध, कल्पनाप्रधान निबंध, चरित्रात्मक निबंध, आत्मकथात्मक निबंध)
- गद्य आकलन आधारित प्रश्न
Under पत्रलेखन, students need to know the difference between an official letter and a personal or appreciation letter, since the format, tone and closing lines change with the type of letter. Under निबंध लेखन, students should practise all five types listed above so they can adjust their writing style depending on whether the topic asks for facts, imagination, description or personal reflection.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 for व्याकरण विभाग (भाषा अध्ययन)
व्याकरण विभाग carries the highest weightage among the skill based sections, with 26 marks, and tests how well a student understands and applies Hindi grammar rules. The topics under this section are grouped as follows:
- शब्द भेद : विकारी शब्द (संज्ञा, सर्वनाम, विशेषण, क्रिया) और अविकारी शब्द (अव्यय)
- संज्ञा के भेद : जातिवाचक, व्यक्तिवाचक, भाववाचक, द्रव्यवाचक, समूहवाचक संज्ञा

- अव्यय के प्रकार : क्रियाविशेषण अव्यय, संबंधसूचक अव्यय, समुच्चयबोधक अव्यय, विस्मयादिबोधक अव्यय
- क्रिया के काल : वर्तमान काल, भूतकाल, भविष्य काल (प्रत्येक में सामान्य, अपूर्ण, पूर्ण रूप)
- संधि के भेद : स्वर संधि, व्यंजन संधि, विसर्ग संधि
- वाक्य के भेद : रचना के आधार पर (साधारण, मिश्र, संयुक्त वाक्य) और अर्थ के आधार पर (विधानार्थक, निषेधार्थक, प्रश्नार्थक, आज्ञार्थक आदि)
- मुहावरे और कहावतें
- वाक्य शुद्धीकरण और शब्द शुद्धीकरण
- कारक चिह्न और विरामचिह्न

- अलंकार : शब्दालंकार (अनुप्रास, यमक, श्लेष) और अर्थालंकार (उपमा, उत्प्रेक्षा, रूपक)
Since this section has many small topics, students should not just memorise definitions. It helps to keep a separate notebook where each grammar rule is written along with two or three examples, so revision becomes quick before the exam.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 for अपठित विभाग
अपठित विभाग carries 4 marks and checks a student's own reading and comprehension ability rather than knowledge from the textbook. This section has two parts, अपठित गद्यांश (an unseen prose passage) and अपठित पद्यांश (an unseen poem passage). Students are given a fresh piece of writing during the exam and must answer questions based only on what is written there. The best way to prepare is to read small Hindi passages regularly, understand the central idea first, and then answer in simple and direct language without adding outside information.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 Preparation Tips
Since the Maharashtra Board Class 10 Hindi Syllabus 2027 spans two full units and four sections, a planned approach works best for students. They should first finish reading every lesson and poem from Hindi Lokbharati, then move on to daily grammar practice from the व्याकरण विभाग list, and finally set aside separate time each week for उपयोजित लेखन writing practice and अपठित विभाग passage solving. Going through previous years' question papers for SSC (English Medium), SSC (Marathi Medium) and SSC (Marathi Semi-English) courses also helps students understand the actual pattern of questions asked from each chapter.
