The MSBSHSE Class 10 Sanskrit paper draws on the prescribed पाठ्यपुस्तक (गद्य and पद्य lessons), core व्याकरण, and उपयोजित लेखन. Expect unseen comprehension passages, explanation of a गद्यांश or पद्यांश, grammar exercises on सन्धि, समास, कारक and प्रत्यय, plus a short writing task. Marks are lost less on difficult grammar than on the accuracy of case endings, sandhi choices and word order in translation. सन्धि: दीर्घ (अ/आ + अ/आ → आ), गुण (अ + इ/उ → ए/ओ), वृद्धि (अ + ए/ऐ → ऐ), यण् (इ/उ before another vowel → य्/व्), अयादि.
