Exam format and marking

The organiser specifies an OMR-based paper of 45 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, with +4 for a correct answer and −1 for a wrong answer (180 maximum marks). Exams are held at common centres within districts; the allotted centre and time appear on the admit card. Preparation follows the official class-specific syllabus PDFs below, which retain their original printed session. Class 4 reviewed 2025–26 playable papers were published on 5 November 2026. They retain 36–44 reliable questions per subject, so maximum marks are reduced to four times the retained count; the printed 60-minute duration and +4/−1 marking remain. Complete original PDFs stay in Downloads. These reviewed versions use independently checked answers: no matching 2025–26 key is linked on the official class page.
