About the AP Intermediate History (BIEAP) Exam
BIEAP Intermediate History covers Class 11–12 (Intermediate first and second year) history for arts and related combinations under the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh. First year emphasises Indian history from historiography and Harappan/Vedic foundations through classical empires, medieval Deccan and North Indian polities, Bhakti–Sufi traditions, colonial rule, 1857, and the national movement. Second year emphasises world history from early humans and river-valley civilizations through Rome, Islam, Mongols, feudal Europe, revolutions, industrialisation, nation-building, indigenous displacement, East Asian modernisation, and the post-1945 international order. Official papers are mixed written constructed-response exams lasting about 3 hours, not multiple choice. This free English MCQ bank builds factual and conceptual fluency before students practise official long-form papers and model papers from bie.ap.gov.in.
Exam sponsor: Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Official BIEAP Intermediate History assesses first-year Indian History and second-year World History through mixed written papers: very short, short, and long/essay answers (often with maps), typically over about 3 hours and on the order of ~100 marks in current pattern practice. There is no laboratory practical for History. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of that written syllabus — it does not simulate the official constructed-response paper format.
Time Limit
Typically about 3 hours per official Intermediate History theory paper, as set in the BIEAP Intermediate Public Examination timetable for the sitting.

About 35% of maximum marks in History theory is the usual BIEAP pass benchmark (confirm the current year circular). First-year and second-year papers follow year-level rules as notified by the board.
Exam / Certification Fees
Included in the Intermediate Public Examination fee schedule notified annually by BIEAP. Exact rupee amounts vary by year, year-of-study (first/second), and candidate category; check the latest fee notification on bie.ap.gov.in rather than unofficial fixed quotes.
