The exact dates will be announced based on the developing situation, which the administration is monitoring.
Last week, the state government had announced that all students in Class 9 and Class 11 will be passed without taking exams, while a similar decision was taken for the students of Class 1-8 earlier in the month.
Maharashtra reported its highest-ever single-day spike of coronavirus cases as the state added over 63,000 positive cases in the last 24 hours.
