CBSE Class 10 Exam 2026 Live: Lalit Sharma, Subject Matter Expert, Seth M.R. Jaipuria Schools shares paper analysis:

This year’s question paper clearly reflected a predominance of competency-based questions. In accordance with the Board’s guidelines, the questions were focused on logical and conceptual understanding.

Section-wise Analysis

Unseen Comprehension: In this section of the question paper, unseen prose and poetry passages were asked. The language of the prose passages was simple; however, the multiple-choice questions based on them required inference and analysis. Through ‘Assertion and Reason’ type questions, the candidates’ in-depth reading ability was assessed.

Applied Grammar: The grammar section was entirely based on practical application. In both Course A and Course B, instead of definitions of rules, priority was given to their usage and identification in sentences. The level of questions related to parts of speech identification, voice, compounds (Samas), and idioms was moderate, demanding linguistic accuracy.

Literature: The section based on the textbooks (Kshitij–Kritika and Sparsh–Sanchayan) proved to be scoring for students. The questions were directly related to the syllabus. In descriptive questions, along with factual details from the text, emphasis was laid on explaining its core message and moral values.

Creative Writing: To assess writing skills, contemporary topics, digital literacy, and issues related to social awareness were included. Questions such as paragraph writing, letter writing, and notice writing provided candidates with an opportunity to present original ideas. As the writing section was extensive, time management remained an important factor.

Overall, the Hindi question paper of the year 2026 was a balanced document that evaluated not only linguistic knowledge but also the functional application of language.
