This is the English subject generator — it builds to the real CBSE codes, Class 10 Code 184 and Class 12 English Core Code 301: the reading passage, the writing and grammar sections, and the literature extracts, in the board's weightage, with an answer key.
For CBSE English teachers · Code 184 (Class 10) + Code 301 (Class 12 Core) · reading · writing · grammar · literature · Hindi-medium support.
This is the English subject generator within SchoolDeck's AI question-paper feature — the page that produces a CBSE English paper to the actual board blueprint. What makes it the English page is that it builds to the verified English codes: Class 10 English (Language & Literature) Code 184 and Class 12 English Core Code 301. It owns the structure unique to an English paper — the unseen-passage reading section, the writing formats, the grammar section, and the literature extract-based questions on the prescribed texts — in the board's weightage, with an answer key and Hindi-medium support. The sibling subjects own their own codes: Maths (041/241/065), Science (086), Social Science (087). The scheme and grading are the examinations feature.
An English paper isn't a question bank you draw from like Maths. Each section behaves differently, and the generator builds each to the Code 184 blueprint. Here's the structure it produces — and why English needs its own generator, not a generic one.
| Section | Built to code | What makes it English-specific |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | 184 · Section A | an unseen passage with comprehension questions — generated from a passage, not pulled from a bank |
| Writing | 184 · Section B | prescribed formats (letter, notice, analytical paragraph) in the board's style |
| Grammar | 184 · Section B | editing, gap-fill, transformation — the board's question types |
| Literature | 184 · Section C | extract-based + reference-to-context questions tied to the prescribed texts |
| Full paper | Code 184 weightage | → assembled with answer key, Hindi-medium optional |
Finding a fresh unseen passage, framing comprehension questions, picking literature extracts and balancing the sections to the board weightage is an evening's work — repeated for every set and every class.
Built by hand, the section proportions slip — too much literature, too little grammar — and the paper no longer matches what Code 184 or 301 actually specifies, so it doesn't prepare students for the real one.
Under time pressure, the same comprehension passages and extracts come round again, students recognise them, and the paper stops testing anything.
A one-size generator treats English like a question bank, missing that reading is passage-based and literature is tied to set texts — so the output isn't really a CBSE English paper at all.
Choose Class 10 English Language & Literature (Code 184) or Class 12 English Core (Code 301). The generator builds to that code's blueprint rather than a generic English template, so the paper matches what the board actually sets.
The reading section is built on an unseen passage with comprehension questions in the board's style — because an English paper's reading section is generated from a passage rather than pulled from a fixed bank like a Maths sum.
The writing section is assembled in the prescribed formats and the grammar section in the board's question types, in the weightage the code specifies, so the proportions match the real paper rather than an arbitrary mix.
The literature section draws extract-based and reference-to-context questions from the prescribed texts for that class — which is what makes literature distinct from a generic comprehension question: it's tied to the set books, not any passage.
The full paper is produced in the board section weightage with an answer key, and with Hindi-medium support where a school needs a bilingual paper. The scheme and grading behind it are owned by the examinations feature; this page produces the English paper to its code.
English Language & Literature, Code 184: the reading-writing-grammar-literature structure in the current CBSE Class 10 scheme, built to the section weightage the board specifies rather than an arbitrary arrangement.
English Core, Code 301: the Class 12 English Core blueprint, with its reading, writing and literature sections in the prescribed proportions, drawing literature from the Class 12 set texts.
Building to the code is what keeps the subject generators distinct: English to 184/301, Maths to 041/241/065, Science to 086, Social Science to 087. No two subject pages cover the same ground, because each is tied to its own board codes.
Framework references: CBSE subject codes — English Language & Literature Code 184 (Class 10), English Core Code 301 (Class 12); the Class 10 80+20 scheme and 9-point grading. The exam scheme and grading rules are owned by the examinations feature; the paper-generation engine and the NEP section split are owned by the parent AI question-paper feature. Section-to-code mapping shown is illustrative of structure; the live generator follows the current board blueprint and prescribed texts.
SchoolDeck keeps each subject generator on its own page, tied to its own board codes, on purpose — so the English page ranks for CBSE English papers and never competes with the Maths, Science or Social Science generators for the same query.
The blueprint shifts with the class and code; the section logic stays English.
A Class 10 teacher generates fresh Code 184 papers for practice through the year — new unseen passages each time, literature tied to the Class 10 set texts — so students see the real pattern, not the same recycled paper.
A Class 12 teacher builds English Core (Code 301) pre-board papers to the exact blueprint, with the literature section drawn from the Class 12 prescribed texts, so the pre-board mirrors the board.
A Hindi-medium school still sets the same Code 184 / 301 English paper, and the Hindi-medium support produces a bilingual version suited to its classrooms without changing the English content.
"Anyone who has set a Class 10 English paper knows it's not like setting a Maths paper — you can't just pull questions from a bank. You need a fresh unseen passage, comprehension questions framed properly, the writing and grammar sections balanced to the Code 184 weightage, and a literature section that actually comes from the texts the class has read. Doing all that by hand, for every set, was an evening each time. What I value about this is that it's built for English specifically — it knows the reading section comes from a passage and the literature comes from the prescribed texts, and it builds to Code 184 for my Class 10s and Code 301 for the Class 12 Core students. It's a strong draft I still read through and tweak, not something I'd set blind — but it gets me to a blueprint-correct paper in minutes. And it's clearly the English tool; my colleagues use the separate Maths and Science generators for theirs, which is right, because those papers work completely differently."
What every English teacher and exam coordinator asks before they generate a board-pattern paper.
We'll show you a CBSE English paper built to Code 184 or Code 301 — unseen-passage reading, writing and grammar sections, literature from the prescribed texts, with an answer key and Hindi-medium support — generated and ready to refine.
