About the AP Intermediate Sanskrit (BIEAP) Exam
BIEAP Intermediate Sanskrit covers Class 11–12 (Intermediate first and second year) Sanskrit as a language subject under the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh. Content spans prose and poetry lessons, non-detailed reading, and vyakarana skills — sandhi, vibhakti/karaka, shabda and dhatu forms, samasa, and translation — aligned to BIEAP syllabi and textbooks with updates as notified. Official papers are mixed written constructed-response exams lasting about 3 hours (typically 100 marks for languages), not multiple choice. This free English MCQ bank builds grammar, translation-concept, and literature 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 Sanskrit assesses first-year and second-year language content (Sanskrit-I / Sanskrit-II) through mixed written papers: meaning and explanation of shlokas, essay and short answers from poetry and prose, sandhi application and splitting, samasa, shabda forms, and related translation/sentence tasks, typically over about 3 hours and on the order of 100 marks for the theory paper. There is no laboratory practical for Sanskrit. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of that written syllabus — it preserves Sanskrit grammatical and literary terms but does not simulate the official constructed-response paper format or a full Sanskrit-medium sitting.
Time Limit
Typically about 3 hours per official Intermediate Sanskrit theory paper, as set in the BIEAP Intermediate Public Examination timetable for the sitting.
Passing Score
About 35% of maximum marks in Sanskrit theory is the usual BIEAP pass benchmark (confirm the current year circular).
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.

First-year and second-year Sanskrit (Sanskrit-I / Sanskrit-II) typically include poetry and prose lessons, non-detailed texts, and grammar (sandhi, vibhakti, shabda/dhatu forms, samasa) plus translation-related work. Exact lesson lists and blueprints are published by BIEAP for each academic year.
How many marks and how long is the Sanskrit theory paper?
