About this practice paper
This is an original Doubtly practice paper for Maharashtra SSC (Class 10) Hindi (Lokbharati, Second/Third Language), written in the board pattern. It is not an official board paper. The prose and poetry passages are short original summaries of the ideas of Lokbharati lessons, written in fresh Hindi. They do not copy the textbook. The unseen passage, the grammar sentences and the writing tasks are all new. Every question comes with a full model answer in Hindi.
Paper pattern
The paper carries 80 marks and the time allowed is 3 hours. It has five sections: Prose (गद्य, 20 marks: two textbook-based passages and one unseen passage), Poetry (पद्य, 12 marks), Supplementary Reading (पूरक पठन, 8 marks), Language Study (व्याकरण, 14 marks) and Applied Writing (रचना विभाग, 26 marks: letter, question framing, report or story, advertisement and essay).

Revise the lessons ‘गोवा : जैसा मैंने देखा’, ‘रीढ़ की हड्डी’, ‘बरषहिं जलद’, ‘भारत महिमा’, ‘बूढ़ी काकी’ and ‘हम उस धरती की संतति हैं’ first. Then write the paper by hand in three hours and compare your work with the model answers. Check the grammar answers word by word, and keep to the word limits given in the writing tasks.
FAQs
Is this a real board question paper?
No. It is an original Doubtly practice paper that follows the board’s pattern and marks.
Why are the textbook poems not printed?
Textbook poems are not reproduced here. Each poetry question gives a short summary of the poem’s ideas in Hindi, plus at most one line from it. Answer from that summary and from your own revision of the poem.
Do I have to attempt every writing task?
No. In Q.5 (आ) (1) you write either the report (वृत्तांत) or the story (कहानी), and in Q.5 (इ) you write one essay out of three, just as in the board paper.
