CBSE Class 12 question papers 2026 are available below for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Core, Biology, Business Studies, Economics, History and Political Science. The page includes set-wise papers and solutions where they are available.
Each booklet has its own paper code. Match the full code before opening a solution because the question number and options can change from one set to another. The official 2026 archive also has papers for many other Class 12 subjects.

No matching subject or paper code.
Match the complete 55/5 paper code before checking a numerical answer. Each set has its own questions and solutions.
Choose the matching set from series 56/1. Keep the reaction, given values and answer options together when comparing your working.
Open set 65/1/3 to read the questions and worked calculations together. Keep the given values and internal-choice option beside your working.
Use the same passage and writing task as your paper. A response from another English Core set may answer a different question even when the question number matches.
Read the Set 1 questions and check their answers. Match diagrams and each internal-choice alternative before checking your response.
Paper 66/5/2 includes case-based questions and worked answers. Check both the named concept and its connection to the business situation.
Choose Set 1 or Set 2 for the paper and worked answers in one PDF. Compare the figures in each calculation before using an answer from another set.
Download paper 61/2/3 for its source-based, descriptive and map questions. Keep the source passage beside your answer when reviewing the attempt.
Read the 2026 questions with their answers. The explanations cover objective questions and longer responses.
Original practice: three short sets with answers and explanations. Your result shows accuracy for the selected set, not a board-exam score.
Choose your answers, then submit the set.
Only after matching the actual question, including its figures, options and internal choice. A question number by itself is not enough. Keep the full paper code with your answer sheet so that you do not compare two different problems.
Start with one complete paper to find where you lose marks. Use another set to practise different questions from those areas. If much of the content overlaps, compare the changed questions instead of repeating the entire paper immediately.
For a descriptive answer, compare the meaning and evidence, not just the sentence structure. In English, for instance, an inference must still follow from the passage. For numerical answers, compare the method and intermediate steps as well as the final value. The matching CBSE marking scheme is the reference for awarded marks.
No. Where a question asks you to attempt one alternative, score only the alternative you chose. You can solve the other one later as extra practice, but adding both would inflate the score beyond that paper’s maximum.
No. A theory-paper attempt covers only that paper. Practical, project or internal-assessment marks, where applicable, are separate parts of the subject result. Do not compare a score out of the paper’s maximum directly with a final subject percentage.
Yes, for topics that remain in your syllabus. Use the 2026 questions to practise methods and answer writing, then use the sample paper for your own session to check its format. A previous paper does not establish the next examination’s chapter-wise weightage.
No. They are original short exercises in Mathematics, Physics and Commerce. Submit a set to see explanations, then retry the questions you missed. The downloads above are separate resources; the short sets are not full board papers.
