From where does questions come from in 12th board exams?
Hello aspirant,
NCERT textbooks, which are regarded as the most significant source, are the main source of questions for the 12th board exams. Additional resources include past year's question papers (PYQs), sample papers published by the board, and NCERT Exemplar books (for science and math). Furthermore, a greater portion of the exam consists of competency-based questions, such as multiple-choice questions and case-based questions, which are created using the syllabus and ideas covered in the NCERT curriculum.
Thank you
Hope it helps you
Hello,
In the 12th board exams, most of the questions come directly from your NCERT textbooks .
Here’s a simple breakdown:
-
Around 80–90% of questions are based on NCERT concepts and examples .
-
Some questions may be twisted or indirect , but their base is still from NCERT chapters .
-
A few application-based or higher-order thinking questions (HOTS) may come from the same topics but in a new form.
So, if you study your NCERT books thoroughly , understand the concepts, and practice the back exercises and examples , you can easily score well.
Hope it helps !
