CBSE Class 12 Sample Papers 2026-27
Not all Class 12 subjects are marked the same way. Physics, Chemistry and Biology set aside 30 of their 100 marks for a practical exam, Accountancy and Business Studies are entirely theory-based, and the Sociology board paper always builds one full question around a data table alone. Practising with a generic paper, instead of one built to your subject's actual pattern, wastes valuable revision time.
Below is our complete set of CBSE Class 12 sample papers for 2026-27, covering 13 subjects. These are not official CBSE sample papers: they are practice papers built to match each subject's current blueprint closely, with full solutions and marking schemes, so you can time yourself properly before the board exam. Click through to any subject to find its exam pattern, chapter or unit weightage, downloadable sample papers with solutions, and preparation tips specific to that subject.
Every paper on this site is built from the current CBSE curriculum and question paper design for the 2026-27 session, cross-checked against the official syllabus documents rather than guessed from older papers. Where a subject's pattern has changed (for example, a shift in section-wise marks or a new case-based question format), our papers reflect the updated structure, not last year's.

Why Use These CBSE Class 12 Sample Papers
● Every paper is mapped to the exact section-wise marks, question types and internal choices set out in the current CBSE question paper design for each subject, not a generic template reused across subjects.
● Solutions are written as full marking schemes, with step marks shown for numerical subjects and point-wise model answers for theory subjects, so you can see exactly where marks are earned.
● Diagrams, maps and data tables used in these papers are built from real, accurate source data (such as verified Census figures or geographically accurate map coordinates), not approximate sketches.
● Content is reviewed against the latest official CBSE syllabus and sample question papers for the 2026-27 session, and updated when the board revises a subject's pattern.
● Each subject page is written specifically for that subject's syllabus and command words, rather than adapting one generic set of tips across all 13 subjects.
How These Sample Papers Are Prepared
Each subject's papers are built directly from the CBSE curriculum document and official sample question paper for that subject, so the section-wise marks, number of questions and question formats (MCQ, assertion-reason, case-based, source-based, numerical or map-based) match what students will actually see in the board exam. Questions themselves are freshly written for these papers rather than copied from any official paper, so they test the same concepts and skills without repeating exact wording.
Every paper is converted, checked and verified before publishing: content is checked for completeness, marking schemes are checked question by question against the paper, and any data, maps or diagrams used are checked against real, current sources. This process is repeated for every subject and every paper on this site.
How to Use These Sample Papers to Prepare
● Start with your weakest subject's exam pattern and unit weightage page, so your revision time matches how marks are actually distributed.
● Attempt each sample paper under timed, exam-like conditions before checking the solutions, rather than looking up answers as you go.
● Compare your answers against the given marking scheme line by line, especially for numerical and diagram-based questions, where partial marks matter.
● Revisit any topic where you lost marks in more than one sample paper, since this usually signals a gap in understanding rather than a one-off mistake.
● Use the subject-specific preparation tips on each page. Command words like "justify," "illustrate" and "evaluate" are marked differently, and each subject page explains what examiners expect for that subject.
