Punjab PSEB Matric Sanskrit · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Punjab School Education Board Matriculation Examination is the Class 10 board examination conducted by the Punjab School Education Board, which came into existence through a legislative enactment in November 1969 and was granted autonomy by a 1987 amendment of the Board's Act. Sanskrit is one of the subjects a Matriculation candidate may offer, and the board publishes a syllabus, books, a question bank, a structure of question paper and model test papers through the Academics Wing of its website. The examination is intended for regular Class 10 students of PSEB-affiliated and recognised schools, and the board also provides Open School routes for Matriculation admissions. Because the board's subject-specific pages for Matric Sanskrit were not retrieved, this page does not state a marks distribution, paper duration, question count or passing threshold for the Sanskrit paper; candidates should confirm those details from the current syllabus and structure of question paper published by the board. Preparation should follow the prescribed Sanskrit textbook, work through the board's model test papers and question bank, and practise translation, grammar forms and prescribed text passages. Examination forms, date sheets and result notices are announced on the board's website, and certificates for Classes 8th, 10th and 12th (Session 2026) are available on DigiLocker. Topics on this exam: Sanskrit. The Punjab PSEB Matric Sanskrit study guide has 1 section and about 380 words.
01Sanskrit (PSEB Matric)
Sanskrit is the single domain of the PSEB Matric paper. It tests reading of the prescribed prose and verse, translation, and the grammar syllabus: sandhi, śabda-rūpa, dhātu-rūpa, kāraka, samāsa and pratyaya. Marks are lost when a rule is known but not shown in the answer. Savarṇa-dīrgha: अ/आ + अ/आ → आ; इ/ई + इ/ई → ई; उ/ऊ + उ/ऊ → ऊ, as in विद्या + आलयः → विद्यालयः.
