CBSE Class 10 Hindi Analysis: Were the Hindi Course A, B papers lengthy?

“The CBSE Hindi exam was of moderate difficulty, with a mix of direct and analytical questions. All three sets were prepared at the same level, so there was no major difference in difficulty. About 90% of the syllabus was covered. The multiple-choice questions (MCQs) were simple and easy to attempt,” she added.

Hindi Class 10 Paper Analysis: Section-wise

CBSE Class 10 Hindi exam was fair and balanced across all sets, Shweta Gupta said adding that it tested both theoretical and practical knowledge while remaining accessible to students.

“The reading comprehension section had clear passages, and the questions checked understanding without being too difficult. The writing section was slightly challenging for some students, especially those who had not practiced enough, but those who had solved sample papers found it manageable. The grammar section was well-balanced, with questions that tested key grammatical concepts. The literature section was neither too difficult nor too easy and was consistent across all sets. Questions focused on understanding rather than memorisation.”

‘No unexpected or overly tricky questions’

Teachers found the paper well-structured, giving students a good opportunity to showcase their knowledge. No set was easier or harder than the others, making the evaluation fair, the JIRS teacher said. There were no unexpected or overly tricky questions. Students who had practiced sample papers and previous years’ questions found the exam easier to handle, she added.

‘Aligned with NCERT’

As per Shikha Solanki and Asha Sehgal, TGT Hindi at Silverline Prestige School, Ghaziabad, the Hindi board exam was balanced, aligning with the NCERT syllabus.

“Reading comprehension was easy-moderate. Grammar, primarily doable, tested core concepts, with a few sections slightly more challenging.”

“This exam provided students with a good opportunity to showcase their literary knowledge, language skills, and creative thinking. We recommend that students strengthen their preparation in the coming days, focusing more on creative writing and grammar topics. The overall difficulty level of the Hindi exam is expected to range from easy to moderate,” they added.

‘Bit lengthy’

Mahendra Singh Tomar, TGT Hindi, Global Indian International School (GIIS), Noida, while analysing the paper said: “The Class 10 Hindi CBSE examination was a bit lengthy. However, our students were able to tackle it with ease and a positive attitude. Students found one of the comprehension passages to be a bit tricky, but they were able to solve it on time.”

“The questions in the writing and literature section were straightforward and based on the syllabus prescribed by CBSE. Grammar was also very easy. Our students were able to attempt the grammar section with much ease as an ample amount of practice had been given to them during revision classes. All the students were able to complete the paper on time and attempt all the questions with ease and accuracy,” Tomar added.

‘MCQs from grammar section’

The question papers of all three sets were of average standard, Ajay Choubey, PGT Hindi, Vidyagyan, Sitapur said while sharing feedback on the Hindi paper. They had a balanced mix of knowledge, analysis, and application-based questions, encouraging students to engage in critical thinking and self-reflection. This year, with the removal of multiple-choice questions from the grammar section, students took some time to solve the questions, but this will likely lead to an increase in their scores, he added.

“Most students were able to complete the paper on time, though some faced difficulties, especially with the grammar section. However, the questions related to literature were simple, while the unseen poetry passage was more challenging,” he said.

Goldi Pandey, a student from the same school found the question paper easier than expected.

“The level of difficulty was very low, and I had no trouble solving the questions,” she added.

According to Akshay, another student from the same school, a few MCQ questions were tricky, but the rest of the paper was of average difficulty and could be completed within the allotted time.

‘Clear and concise language’

The language used in the question paper was clear and concise, allowing students to comprehend the questions without spending excessive time. Overall, the CBSE Class 10 Hindi question paper was well-structured, assessing students’ linguistic abilities, creative expression, and critical thinking skills effectively, Lalit Kumar Mishra, subject matter expert, Seth M.R. Jaipuria Schools said.

The paper’s length was a concern, leaving students with insufficient time to review their answers, Amita Shukla
