CBSE Sample Question Papers for Classes X & XII for the current Academic Session
2026- 27 – reg.
The Board issues Sample Question Papers (SQPs) and Marking Schemes (MS) for
classes X and XII to provide a broad template and serve as a guide for ensuring
uniformity and proper coverage of the curricula. Further, SQPs give a broad
understanding of the question paper design and need to be used for classroom
teaching and learning activities with an overall focus on promoting the application of
concepts in real-life.
