The Central Board Of Secondary Education has released the sample paper for class 10th and 12th Board exam. These sample papers aim to help over 2 million students in India understand the exam pattern, types of questions, and marking schemes.
For students of class 10th, the question paper covers a wide range of subjects including maths, english, science, hindi, sanskrit, computer, and social studies. The papers are available in both English and Hindi medium for selected subjects, along with the detailed marking scheme. This is done to help the students understand how to prepare for the board exam and which area holds more weightage.
Likewise, Class 12 has access to subject-wise sample papers and marking schemes of popular disciplines such as English Core, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Accountancy, Biology, Business Studies, and so on. This release is consistent with the trend of CBSE towards single-board exam pattern in the year with the term-wise examinations being withdrawn.
CBSE advises students to use these sample papers as essential tools to prepare effectively and practice the exam format. Such papers are particularly useful in preparation of half yearly, pre-board and final board exams. To start with their preparation, the students are advised to download PDFs available in the official CBSE academic site.
The professionals recommend using the sample papers to not only get a better idea of the kind of questions being asked, but also in terms of time management in addition to locating essential topics. These papers are the most up to date to match the current trend of questions and the new exam is application-based and analytical, so the papers will also be based on these new trends.
Both parents and teachers are appreciating this early release of board exam sample paper, as it allows for structured and focused coaching sessions throughout the academic year.
To access the sample papers and the marking schemes of 2025-26 class 10th and 12th board exam, students can simply visit the official CBSE website: cbseacademic.nic.in, where all subject-wise PDFs are available for free download.
This initiative by CBSE is aiming at making the exam preparation more transparent and stressfree by equipping students with all the info and clear guidance, boosting their confidence for the upcoming board exams.
