CBSE class 10 Social Science exam analysis 2025
The CBSE Class 10 Social Science exam consists of six sections – Section A (multiple-choice questions), Section B (very short answer type questions), Section C (short answer type questions), Section D (long answer type questions), Section E (case-based questions) and Section F (map based questions). Many students said that the MCQ and map-based questions were easy compared to other sections. The short answer type questions are a bit tricky.
Vidhi Sharma, Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon, “The Grade X Social Science Board Exam remained largely NCERT-based, reinforcing the importance of conceptual clarity and thorough preparation. With direct and straightforward questions in History and Political Science, students who had studied diligently from the textbook found the exam manageable. Geography and Economics MCQs required a mix of recall and critical thinking, challenging students to apply their understanding. The subjective section aligned closely with the syllabus, ensuring that those with a strong grasp of key concepts could confidently attempt all questions. Map work was simple, offering a sense of ease amid the exam. Overall, this year’s paper emphasised that success lies in a deep understanding of NCERT content rather than rote memorisation. Students who had engaged actively with the syllabus and practised application-based questions were well-equipped to perform well. The exam served as a reminder that mastering fundamentals is the key to excelling in board assessments.”
