CBSE Class 10 Board Exam Practice Papers
Sit a full paper the way the board sets it: same section order, same question count, marks printed on every question, three-hour timer. These are original practice questions — not a copy of the official sample paper.
Practice questions aligned to NCERT topics used in CBSE classrooms. These are original exam-oriented questions for revision — not official CBSE board papers and not a guarantee of any exam question. Always match the textbook issued by your school and the latest PDFs on ncert.nic.in and cbseacademic.nic.in. Official SQP index: cbseacademic.nic.in

Not in this catalog yet
Hindi A/B, Computer Applications and other optional subjects are not built as full papers here because those chapter lists are not in the CBSE Q&A catalog yet. Use the official SQP index for those subjects.
How to sit the paper
- Open Set 1 on a phone or laptop. Start the 3-hour timer from the sticky bar.
- Attempt sections in printed order. Tap MCQ options. Write long answers in a notebook, then reveal the marking points.
- Submit to score the objective items. Written work is for self-check against the answer key.
- On another day, sit Set 2 and Set 3 without looking back at Set 1.
FAQs
Are these the real CBSE board papers?
No. They are original practice papers laid out in the official 2025-26 sample-paper sequence (question count, sections and marks). Official SQPs are on cbseacademic.nic.in.
Will these questions come in the board exam?
Nobody can promise that. Use them to practise timing, section order and how marks are split.
How many sets are there?
Three practice sets per subject so you can sit a second and third paper without repeating the same order of chapters.
Which subjects are included?
Mathematics (Standard), Science, Social Science and English Language & Literature — the subjects already in this CBSE catalog. Hindi and other languages are not listed here until those NCERT chapter lists are added.
