Class 11 English Core: Hornbill (prose + poetry) + Snapshots (supplementary). Class 12 English Core: Flamingo (prose + poetry) + Vistas (supplementary).

Every literature question tagged to source chapter and book for chapter-wise assembly.
How does the platform generate unseen passages with correct word counts?
+
Passages come from a curated bank of pre-vetted texts categorized by type and word count to match CBSE specs. Class 10 — discursive at 400-450 words + case-based factual at 200-250 words. Class 12 — passages calibrated to 22-mark Reading section. Tagged as factual, discursive, or literary. Case-based passages include visual stimuli (charts, statistical tables) per NEP 2020 competency. Each passage comes with ready-made MCQs, very short answer questions (one-phrase/one-sentence), short answer questions testing interpretation, inference, evaluation, vocabulary in context.
Does the platform generate Reference-to-Context (RTC) questions?
+
Yes. RTC extracts are core to Class 10 Section C and Class 12 Section C. Platform pulls extracts from First Flight, Footprints, Flamingo, Vistas chapters, auto-generates the standard 3-question structure following the extract — context identification, theme/character analysis, vocabulary/interpretation. Poetry RTCs include line-by-line analytical questions with figure-of-speech identification. Each RTC tagged to source poem or chapter for blueprint assembly.
Does the platform support NEP 2020 competency-based questions for English?
+
Yes. NEP 2020 requires 50% of Class 9-12 papers to be competency-based. For English — case-based factual passages with visual stimuli, source-based questions from literature extracts, analytical paragraph writing based on data, theme-based long-answers testing critical evaluation, competency MCQs testing inference. Platform applies the 50/20/30 blueprint automatically — 50% competency, 20% objective MCQ (vocabulary, grammar identification), 30% constructed response (character sketches, theme analysis).
How does answer-key generation work for subjective English questions?
+
Subjective English answers vary across students. The platform generates a value-point marking scheme instead of a model answer. For a 5-mark character sketch (e.g., Mijbil from 'Mijbil the Otter'), the rubric outlines 3-4 specific traits (playful, intelligent, adaptable) plus 1-2 supporting incidents from the text. Examiners award marks against value points, ensuring fair grading across sections regardless of which teacher evaluates. For objective questions (MCQ, fill-in-the-blank, grammar) exact answers are provided.
Can the platform generate English papers in Hindi-medium or regional-medium format?
+
Yes. For schools where English is taught as a second language alongside Hindi-medium or regional-medium core subjects, platform generates English papers with mixed-language instructions — English questions with Marathi/Tamil/Gujarati translations of the rubric and instructions. Useful for state board schools that follow English Language teaching at second-language proficiency level rather than first-language. Passages and grammar drills remain in English; instructions translated.
