About the BSEB Matric SIL Sanskrit Exam

Bihar BSEB Matric Sanskrit as Second Indian Language (SIL) is the Class 10 public examination language paper conducted by the Bihar School Examination Board. Official 2026 Matric model papers list it as paper code 105 (105_Sanskrit.pdf) on biharboardonline.com. It is a written language assessment of about 3 hours 15 minutes for a standard 100-mark Matric subject, mixing objective and subjective tasks (grammar, literature, comprehension, translation, and composition as applicable). Role: Second Indian Language (SIL) for Hindi-speaking candidates (and other eligible combinations under BSEB rules). The official paper is not a pure English MCQ test and is answered in the target language environment of the board paper. This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of Sanskrit SIL skills for 2026 revision — not an official translation, not a full writing-paper simulation, and not a substitute for timed practice of BSEB model paper 105.

Exam sponsor: Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Duration about 3 hours 15 minutes including reading time; standard subject total 100 marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official BSEB Matric Sanskrit SIL exam multiple choice?

No. The BSEB Matric Sanskrit Second Indian Language paper (model paper 105) is a written examination mixing objective and subjective tasks answered in the board’s language environment. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation of SIL skills — not a full writing simulation or official translation.

How long is the BSEB Matric Sanskrit SIL paper?

BSEB Matric written papers are commonly scheduled for about 3 hours 15 minutes including reading time (e.g., 9:30–12:45 or 2:00–5:15 on the public timetable). Confirm the year’s admit card/timetable.

What is the passing mark?

A careful working figure for Matric language subjects is about 30% in the subject; some secondary summaries also cite 33/100. Always confirm the current BSEB circular for your academic year.

Who takes Sanskrit/Arabic/Persian/Bhojpuri vs Hindi as SIL?

BSEB Matric timetable wording commonly assigns Second Indian Language options such as Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, or Bhojpuri for Hindi-speaking candidates, while non-Hindi-speaking candidates take Hindi only as SIL (paper 106). Confirm the combination with your school.

Where can I get official model paper 105?

BSEB publishes Matric 2026 model papers on biharboardonline.com (Matric model paper page), including Sanskrit SIL as 105 (105_Sanskrit.pdf). Use those for timed handwritten practice after MCQ concept work.

Why are these practice questions in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL as a study aid. Sanskrit text, grammar forms, and vocabulary still appear where they are the skill being tested, with English stems and explanations. This is an English MCQ study adaptation — not a claim that the official board paper is delivered in English.

How is the exam fee paid?

Matric examination fees are notified by BSEB and are normally paid through the school for regular candidates. Private/late-fee categories follow the year’s notification — verify via your school and biharboardonline.com.
