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 3 reviewed 2025–26 playable papers were published on 5 November 2026. They retain 37–44 reliable questions per subject (244 total), with four times the retained count as maximum marks. Printed 60-minute timing and +4/−1 marking remain. Complete source PDFs stay in Downloads. Answers were independently checked because the official class page links no matching 2025–26 keys. Older papers and sample sets remain source resources pending individual review and playable conversion.
