Kerala SSLC Urdu study guide
Kerala SSLC Urdu · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Kerala SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) examination is the Class 10 board examination administered by Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan, the state examination authority whose portal lists SSLC alongside parallel streams such as SSLC (HI), THSLC, THSLC (HI) and AHSLC. Within the SSLC, Urdu is offered as a language subject: candidates who choose Urdu study it as their second language, and Pareeksha Bhavan's own listings confirm Urdu as a language offered in Kerala board examinations, appearing alongside Arabic, Sanskrit and Hindi in its published language-examination material. This page is an independent study resource for candidates preparing the Urdu paper. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Pareeksha Bhavan or any school; always confirm the current syllabus, timetable and instructions on the official portal. The Kerala SSLC Urdu study guide has 3 sections and about 1,164 words.
01Prose (Nasr): comprehension, vocabulary and the sabaq answer
Prose (nasr) is the largest reading block of the Kerala SSLC Second Language Urdu paper. Passages come from the SCERT Urdu Reader lessons, but the questions test comprehension rather than recall: short answers on a passage's markazi khayal (central idea) or kirdar (character), word-meanings, using a muhawara in a sentence, and a longer answer asking for sabaq (lesson) or tabsara (comment).

Nazm questions in the Kerala SSLC Urdu paper test three things: mafhoom (what the lines say), markazi khayal (the one controlling idea of the poem), and sanaat-e-sher (the devices that make it poetry). A candidate who paraphrases well but cannot name the device loses the device mark; one who names devices without explaining the transfer loses the explanation mark.
