Sample AP Intermediate Telugu (BIEAP) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the AP Intermediate Telugu (BIEAP) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Who is traditionally called ఆదికవి (Adi Kavi), the first major poet of classical Telugu literature?
A.తిక్కన (Tikkana)
B.నన్నయ (Nannaya)
C.ఎఱ్ఱన (Errana)
D.పోతన (Potana)
Explanation: Nannaya (నన్నయ) is honoured as ఆదికవి for beginning the Telugu Mahabharata and establishing classical literary Telugu. Tikkana and Errana completed later portions of the Mahabharata project; Potana is famed for the Telugu Bhagavatam.
2The three poets collectively called కవిత్రయం (Kavitraya) who rendered the Mahabharata into Telugu are:
A.Potana, Srinatha, and Peddana
B.Vemana, Tenali Rama, and Kaloji
C.Nannaya, Tikkana, and Errana
D.Sri Sri, Gurazada, and Viswanatha
Explanation: కవిత్రయం traditionally means Nannaya (నన్నయ), Tikkana (తిక్కన), and Errana (ఎఱ్ఱన) — the triad associated with the Telugu Mahabharata. The other groups are major figures but not this classical triad.
3In Telugu grammar, సంధి (sandhi) primarily refers to:
A.A type of poetic metre only
B.A letter of the Telugu alphabet
C.A modern prose essay form
D.The joining of sounds/letters at word boundaries with systematic change
Explanation: సంధి is the set of phonological rules by which final and initial sounds combine (and often change) when words join. It is not a metre, alphabet letter, or essay genre.
4సమాసం (samasa) in Intermediate Telugu grammar means:
A.A compound word formed by combining two or more words with a specific relation
B.A free-standing independent clause only
C.A punctuation mark
D.A type of examination paper
Explanation: సమాసం is a compound: multiple words fuse into one expression with a named relational type (e.g., తత్పురుష, ద్వంద్వ). It is not punctuation or an exam-paper type.
5Which poet is most famously associated with the Telugu భాగవతం (Bhagavatam)?
A.పోతన (Potana)
B.నన్నయ (Nannaya)
C.శ్రీనాథుడు (Srinatha)
D.గురజాడ (Gurazada)
Explanation: Bammera Potana (పోతన) is celebrated for the Telugu Bhagavatam. Nannaya is linked to the Mahabharata; Srinatha to prabandha poetry; Gurazada to modern social drama.
6ఉపమా అలంకారం (upama alankara) is best described as:
A.Simile — explicit comparison using words like like/as (e.g., వలె, అట్లు)
B.Metaphor with no comparison word
C.Exaggeration beyond possibility
D.Repetition of the same sound only
Explanation: ఉపమా is simile: an explicit comparison between two things using comparative markers. Metaphor without explicit marker is typically రూపకం; extreme exaggeration is అతిశయోక్తి; pure sound repetition relates to అనుప్రాస.
7In Telugu, ఏకవచనం and బహువచనం refer to:
A.Past and future tense only
B.First and second person only
C.Singular and plural number
D.Poetry and prose genres
Explanation: వచనం in this grammar sense is grammatical number: ఏకవచనం (singular) and బహువచనం (plural). Tense, person, and genre are separate categories.
8Which of the following is a standard type of formal letter (అధికారిక లేఖ) Intermediate students practice?
A.Application letter to a principal or officer
B.Only private love poetry
C.Only sandhi drills without address
D.A stage drama script only
Explanation: Intermediate composition includes అధికారిక / అభ్యర్థనా లేఖలు such as applications to principals, officers, or editors. Love poetry, sandhi drills, and drama scripts are other genres, not the formal-letter type asked here.
9The Telugu word సాహిత్యం (sahityam) most nearly means:
A.Mathematics only
B.Geography only
C.Literature
D.Chemistry laboratory
Explanation: సాహిత్యం means literature (literary art and written creative works). The other options are unrelated school subjects.
10గద్యం (gadyam) in Intermediate Telugu textbooks refers to:
A.Prose
B.Only verse poetry
C.Only music notation
D.Only dictionary listings
Explanation: గద్యం means prose. పద్యం means verse/poetry. Music notation and dictionaries are not the textbook section label.

About the AP Intermediate Telugu (BIEAP) Exam

BIEAP Intermediate Telugu covers Class 11–12 (Intermediate first and second year) Telugu language and literature under the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh. Content spans poetry (పద్యభాగం), prose (గద్యభాగం), non-detailed/extensive reading (ఉపవాచకం), grammar (సంధులు, సమాసాలు, అలంకారాలు, ఛందస్సు, పద దోషాలు), and composition (లేఖలు, essays), aligned to BIEAP syllabi and textbooks with progressive revisions as notified. Official papers are mixed written constructed-response exams lasting about 3 hours, not multiple choice. This free English MCQ bank builds concept fluency — preserving Telugu terms where the skill depends on them — 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 Telugu assesses first-year and second-year language and literature through mixed written papers: very short, short, and long answers on పద్యభాగం, గద్యభాగం, ఉపవాచకం, వ్యాకరణం, and composition, typically over about 3 hours per theory paper. 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 Telugu theory paper, as set in the BIEAP Intermediate Public Examination timetable for the sitting.

Passing Score

About 35% of maximum marks in Telugu theory is the usual BIEAP pass benchmark (confirm the current year circular). Year-level rules apply 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.

Exam sponsor website

Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

AP Intermediate Telugu (BIEAP): Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorise sandhi and samasa type names in Telugu (సవర్ణదీర్ఘసంధి, తత్పురుషసమాసం, etc.) with one clear example each — official papers expect accurate terminology.
2Link every major poet to at least one signature work or historical role (e.g., Nannaya as ఆదికవి; Potana and Bhagavatam).
3Practise identifying అలంకారం and ఛందస్సు from short verse lines, not only from definitions.
4Write full Telugu long answers under timed conditions — official papers reward structure, quotation, and clear language, not only recognition.
5After MCQ concept checks, solve BIEAP model papers and previous Intermediate Telugu papers from bie.ap.gov.in to match official written style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official BIEAP Intermediate Telugu exam multiple choice?

No. Official Intermediate Telugu papers are mixed constructed-response written exams (very short, short, and long answers) lasting about 3 hours. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept practice only — not an official format simulation. Telugu technical terms are kept where the skill depends on them.

What does Intermediate Telugu cover under BIEAP?

First-year and second-year Telugu typically include poetry (పద్యభాగం), prose (గద్యభాగం), non-detailed/extensive reading (ఉపవాచకం), grammar (వ్యాకరణం — sandhi, samasa, alankara, chandas, word errors), and composition (letters and essays). Always check the current BIEAP blueprint and textbook for your academic year.

How many marks and how long is the Telugu theory paper?

Duration is typically about 3 hours. Mark totals and section weights are set in the board blueprint for the sitting — confirm on bie.ap.gov.in rather than relying on unofficial fixed schemes.

What is the passing score for Intermediate Telugu?

BIEAP generally requires about 35% of the maximum marks in the subject to pass. Exact cut-offs and year-level rules are stated in the board's examination rules and annual circulars.

Why are questions in English if this is a Telugu subject?

This is an English MCQ study adaptation for concept and literature knowledge practice. Official Intermediate Telugu exams are written in Telugu. Where grammar labels, poet names, work titles, or literary terms are skill-critical, Telugu forms (e.g., సవర్ణదీర్ఘసంధి, నన్నయ) are preserved with English glosses.

Which topics should I prioritise?

Cover the full year syllabus: sandhi and samasa types, major poets and prescribed lessons, alankara and chandas basics, vocabulary and idioms, letter formats, and non-detailed texts. Use official textbooks, blueprints, and model papers alongside this MCQ bank.
