HSC results 2027 in Mauritius are the results of the Cambridge Higher School Certificate exams that run until 13 November 2026. The release date had not been announced when we wrote this, but the last three years point clearly to early February. This guide covers when to expect your results, how HSC grades work, how to ask for a re-mark, how laureate scholarships are decided, and what to do next.

The Mauritius Examinations Syndicate (MES) and the Ministry of Education have the final word on dates, fees and procedures. Always check their announcements.

When are HSC results 2027 released?

No date for the 2026 exam results had been announced as of 12 November 2026. Recent HSC results days were:

Exams sat	Results day	Source
2023	Wed 7 February 2024	mega.mu
2024	Fri 7 February 2025	mega.mu
2025	Tue 10 February 2026	L’Express

Based on that pattern, early February 2027 is the likely window. Treat it as an estimate until the MES confirms it.

Cambridge releases November-series A Level results internationally on 7 January 2027 (Cambridge key dates, November 2026), but HSC results in Mauritius are released nationally, later, on the day the Ministry announces them. Don’t expect your HSC grades in January. Our International A Level results day guide covers candidates outside the HSC system.

The SC comes earlier. The 2025 SC results were published on 16 January 2026 (L’Express).

How HSC results are released

Results day has followed a set routine in recent years:

• From 10am: results are announced, and candidates have been able to view them online, as in previous years (mega.mu, February 2025).
• Laureates: the Minister of Education proclaims the list of laureates, and the names are read out on the radio (L’Express, February 2026).
• Your school: your college will tell you how to collect your results and what happens next. Private candidates should check the MES instructions.

Have your index number ready and keep a copy of your results once they appear.

The 2026 HSC cohort

This year’s results will be watched closely. According to mega.mu (September 2026):

• 8,235 candidates registered for the HSC, and 13,500 for the SC.
• Exams ran from 17 September to 13 November 2026.
• It is the first HSC cohort admitted with three or four SC credits, instead of the five required before.

Exams also went ahead on 14 October 2026 even though schools were closed that day (mega.mu).

HSC grades explained

The HSC is made up of Cambridge International AS and A Level subjects. The usual combination is three main (principal) subjects and two subsidiary subjects, one of them General Paper (L’Express, June 2026; Royal Society case study).

Level	Grades	Notes
Main (A Level)	A* to E	A* is the highest
Subsidiary (AS Level)	a to e	Lower-case letters
Below E or e	Ungraded (U)	Not a pass

The grade levels come from the Cambridge syllabuses (for example, Sociology 9699). Grade thresholds change every series, so a mark that gave an A one year may not give an A the next.

Recent overall pass rates:

Exams sat	Pass rate	Candidates
2023	84.4%	7,528 sat
2024	78.88%	Over 7,500 registered
2025	78.98%	5,794 registered

Sources: mega.mu for 2023, L’Express for the 2024 pass rate, and L’Express for the 2025 figures and both registration counts. L’Express notes the cohort was over 10,000 in the early 2010s.

Re-marking: enquiries about results

If a grade is lower than you expected, you can ask for the script to be checked. Cambridge calls this an enquiry about results. The main services are:

• Clerical re-check: checks that every mark was added up and recorded correctly.
• Review of marking: an experienced examiner reviews how your script was marked.
• Copy of script: some services include a copy of your marked paper.

Cambridge does not charge the fee if the enquiry changes the syllabus grade (Cambridge exams officers’ guide).

You can’t apply to Cambridge yourself. Enquiries go through the exam centre, and for the HSC that means your school and the MES, so check the MES communiqué for the local fees and closing date. Cambridge’s deadline for November 2026 enquiries is 26 February 2027 (Cambridge key dates), so the local window is likely to be short. Decide within days, not weeks.

Before you apply, ask your teacher to look at your marks by paper. A request makes most sense when you are a few marks below a grade boundary that matters for a university offer or a scholarship.

Laureates and State scholarships

The laureates are the top HSC candidates, and each receives a scholarship. There were 49 laureates when the 2025 results were announced (L’Express). For the 2024 results the 49 were made up of 22 on the boys’ side, 21 on the girls’ side, two boys and two girls from Rodrigues College, and one boy and one girl from HSC Pro (AllAfrica, February 2025).

There are also extra scholarships for strong students from lower-income families. In 2026 the Ministry offered 24 additional scholarships to students who sat the HSC in October/November 2025 (L’Express, March 2026):

• 16 for students in the top 500 of the Cambridge scholarship rank orders (or the Rodrigues merit list), with family income of up to Rs40,000 a month, split across the Science, Economics, Arts and Technical sides.
• 8 based on HSC 2025 results, with family income of up to Rs20,000 a month.
• Study abroad was funded with an allowance of up to Rs600,000 a year for a first degree. Study in Mauritius was funded with Rs150,000 a year plus fees of up to Rs225,000 a year.
• Scholars commit to working at least two years in the Mauritian public service after their degree.

The 2026 deadline was 10 April. If a similar scheme runs in 2027, expect the call soon after results. Forms are published by the Ministry of Education.

University options after the HSC

For University of Mauritius degrees in 2026/2027, the general entry requirement is (UoM regulations):

• a pass in English at SC (a General Paper pass at HSC can count instead),
• three SC credits, and
• passes in at least two A Level subjects at HSC.

Individual programmes add their own requirements, and places are ranked, so higher grades widen your choice. If you are applying abroad, check each university’s HSC page and build a list with safer options as well as ambitious ones. Our guide to building a university list that still works if results underperform walks through how.

What to do next, step by step

1. On results day, save your results and note any grade within reach of the next one.
2. Within a few days, talk to your school about enquiries about results before the MES deadline.
3. Check scholarship calls from the Ministry of Education if you are near the top of your side.
4. Confirm university applications with your actual grades.
5. If you need to repeat, register early. Repeat candidates pay their own fees.

What repeating costs, and a cheaper way to prepare

First-time school candidates have their HSC fees paid by the State. Repeaters don’t. For 2026, a repeat candidate taking three main and two subsidiary subjects paid Rs27,434, up from Rs24,504 in 2025 (L’Express, May 2026).

Tutopiya Learning Portal Premium costs S$50 a year, about Rs1,850, or S$10 a month (about Rs370), and covers every subject and curriculum. That is less than a tenth of a repeat HSC entry. We converted at 1 SGD ≈ USD 0.78 and USD 1 ≈ Rs47.36 (currency.me.uk, 12 November 2026).
