Understanding the grammar section that most students find challenging
The Rachnatmak Karya / Vyakarana section (Section B, 20 marks) is one of the most scoring parts of the CBSE Class 10 Sanskrit paper if prepared systematically. Unlike the literature or writing sections, Vyakarana questions have completely definite, rule-based answers — meaning every mark is fully achievable with the right preparation.
Here's a breakdown of the key grammar topics tested in the 2025-26 board paper:
SchoolDeck's generator creates Vyakarana questions automatically covering all the above topics in the correct proportion — with fully worked-out answers that show every step of the grammatical reasoning, matching the CBSE board's evaluation standards.
Everything you need to know about generating CBSE Class 10 Sanskrit question papers
The CBSE Class 10 Sanskrit (Code 122) theory paper carries 80 marks across 4 sections: Section A — Apathit Avabodhanam (10 marks), Section B — Rachnatmak Karya / Vyakarana (20 marks), Section C — Pathit Avabodhanam from Shemushi Bhag 2 (30 marks — the highest weightage), and Section D — Lekhnam (20 marks). Internal Assessment carries an additional 20 marks, making the grand total 100.
CBSE Class 10 Sanskrit uses two NCERT textbooks: Shemushi Bhag 2 (शेमुषी भाग-२), which contains prose (Gadya), poetry (Padya), and drama (Natika) lessons for the literature sections, and Abhyaswaan Bhava Bhag 2 (अभ्यासवान् भव भाग-२), which is the grammar workbook covering Sandhi, Samas, Pratyaya, Dhatu Roop, Shabd Roop, and Vakya Rachana. Both books are fully covered in the SchoolDeck question bank.
Yes. Every board-pattern paper includes 2 fresh unseen passages in Section A — one prose passage (Gadyansh) and one verse passage (Padyansh) not from the textbook — for a total of 10 marks. Questions include MCQs on content, vocabulary (पर्यायवाची / विलोम), grammar-in-context (identifying Vibhakti/Lakar of words), and short-answer comprehension questions.
Section B (20 marks) covers all Rachnatmak Karya topics from Abhyaswaan Bhava Bhag 2: Sandhi Vicched (splitting compounds), Samas Vigrah (compound analysis with type identification), Pratyaya (Krit and Taddhit suffixes), Dhatu Roop in five Lakaras (Lat, Lrt, Lot, Lang, Vidhiling), Shabd Roop across seven Vibhaktis, and Hindi-to-Sanskrit Anuvad. All questions come with fully worked-out answers showing each grammatical step.
Absolutely. You can select individual chapters from Shemushi Bhag 2 — for example, generate a test covering only the Gadya Paath lessons (Shuchiparyavaranam, Buddhir Balavati Sada, etc.) or only the Padya lessons. You can also combine specific Shemushi chapters with specific Vyakarana topics for a focused Unit Test. The AI adjusts the section structure and marks distribution automatically.
Yes. Section D fully covers all Lekhnam formats (20 marks): Patra Lekhan (formal letters to principal/authority and informal letters to friends in Sanskrit), Anuched/Nibandh Lekhan (8–10 sentence Sanskrit essays on given topics), Chitravarnana (5–6 Sanskrit sentences describing a scene/picture), and Anuvad (translation of 5 sentences from Hindi to Sanskrit or Sanskrit to Hindi). Each includes a model answer aligned to CBSE board evaluation criteria.

SchoolDeck uses professional Unicode-compliant Devanagari rendering throughout the generation pipeline. Sanskrit text — including complex Sandhi forms, full Shloka excerpts from Shemushi, grammatical paradigms (Dhatu Roop tables, Shabd Roop tables), and Patra/Anuched model answers — renders perfectly in both PDF and DOCX exports. No broken characters, missing matras, or encoding errors.
Yes. The generator supports multiple exam formats: Full Board Exam Pattern (80 marks, full syllabus), Pre-Board Mock Paper (80 marks), Half-Yearly Exam (first-half syllabus, auto-adjusted sections), Quarterly Test, Periodic Tests (20–30 marks for internal assessment), and Chapter-wise Worksheets. Each format auto-applies the correct paper structure and section distribution.
Yes. Every generated marking scheme follows step-wise marks allocation as per CBSE board evaluation guidelines. For Vyakarana, each sub-part is mapped to specific marks. For Lekhnam, the model answers follow prescribed format structures (salutation, body, closing for Patra; intro-body-conclusion for Anuched). For literature sections, answers follow the expected response format used by CBSE examiners — helping both teachers evaluate consistently and students understand partial-credit eligibility.
