1What is the correct long-vowel (दीर्घ) sandhi result of 'देव' + 'आलयः'?
A.देवालयः
B.देवेलयः
C.देवोलयः
D.देवैलयः
Explanation: Under dirgha svara sandhi (अकः सवर्णे दीर्घः), अ/आ + अ/आ → आ. So देव + आलयः = देवालयः (temple / abode of the gods).
2Apply guṇa sandhi: 'महा' + 'ईशः' → ?
A.महेशः
B.महाईशः
C.महोशः
D.महैशः
Explanation: Guṇa sandhi (आद्गुणः): अ/आ + इ/ई → ए. Thus महा + ईशः = महेशः (Maheśa).
3Apply vṛddhi sandhi: 'एक' + 'एकम्' → ?
A.एकैकम्
B.एकेकम्
C.एकोकम्
D.एकौकम्
Explanation: Vṛddhi sandhi (वृद्धिरेचि): अ/आ + ए/ऐ → ऐ. एक + एकम् = एकैकम् (one by one / each).
4Which form results from yan sandhi of 'इति' + 'आदि'?
A.इत्यादि
B.इतीआदि
C.इतेयादि
D.इतोयादि
Explanation: Yan sandhi (इको यणचि): इ/ई before a dissimilar vowel becomes य्. इति + आदि → इत् + य् + आदि = इत्यादि.
5What is the correct sandhi for 'सत्' + 'जनः' under consonant sandhi patterns taught at Class 10?
A.सज्जनः
B.सद्जनः
C.सत्जनः (no change)
D.सञ्जनः
Explanation: Before ज, final त् often becomes ज् by progressive assimilation (स्तोः श्चुना श्चुः-type teaching in school grammar): सत् + जनः → सज्जनः (good person).
6Visarga sandhi: 'रामः' + 'गच्छति' most commonly becomes?
A.रामो गच्छति
B.रामः गच्छति (unchanged)
C.रामा गच्छति
D.रामे गच्छति
Explanation: When a visarga follows अ and the next word begins with a voiced consonant (or soft sound environment taught as rāmo gacchati type), अः → ओ. So रामः + गच्छति → रामो गच्छति.
7Identify the sandhi type in 'सूर्योदयः' (sūrya + udaya).
A.Guṇa sandhi (अ/आ + उ/ऊ → ओ)
B.Dirgha sandhi only
C.Yan sandhi only
D.No sandhi occurs
Explanation: सूर्य + उदयः: final अ + उ → ओ by guṇa, giving सूर्योदयः (sunrise).
8What is the correct splitting (sandhi-viccheda) of 'विद्यालयः'?
A.विद्या + आलयः
B.विद्य + आलयः
C.विद् + यालयः
D.विद्या + लयः
Explanation: विद्यालयः = विद्या + आलयः (house of learning). Dirgha sandhi joins आ + आ → आ.
9Apply sandhi: 'तत्' + 'अपि' → ?
A.तदपि
B.ततपि
C.तदापि
D.तन्napi
Explanation: Before a vowel, final त् of तत् becomes द् (voicing): तत् + अपि → तदपि (even that / nevertheless).

A.Ayādi sandhi (ए/ऐ/ओ/औ before vowel → अय्/आय्/अव्/आव्)
B.Only dirgha sandhi
C.Only visarga sandhi
D.Only anusvāra sandhi
Explanation: Ayādi sandhi teaches that ए/ऐ/ओ/औ before a vowel become अय्/आय्/अव्/आव्. School examples include forms like नयनम्, शयनम्, गायकः.

About the BSEH Secondary Sanskrit Exam

Haryana BSEH Secondary Sanskrit is the Class 10 public examination third-language paper for students who offer Sanskrit under the Board of School Education Haryana. Official assessment is conducted in Sanskrit (Devanagari script) as a mixed written paper of 3 hours (date-sheet code 049 Sanskrit), with Theory 80 + Internal Assessment 20 = 100 marks. Content is aligned to the Class 10 Sanskrit syllabus and prescribed book शेमुषी भाग-2 (Shemushi Part 2, BSEH publication, NCERT-aligned), covering unseen comprehension, creative writing, literature themes, and applied grammar (sandhi, समास, विभक्ति/कारक, शब्द-रूप, धातु-रूप, प्रत्यय, उपसर्ग). The official paper is not a pure multiple-choice test. This free bank provides English four-option MCQs for revision of Sanskrit grammar concepts, literature titles and themes, comprehension strategies, vocabulary, composition-structure recognition, and Class 10 literary knowledge. It is a study adaptation only — not an official translation, writing substitute, or inventory guaranteeing every annual chapter cut.

Exam sponsor: Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

BSEH Secondary Sanskrit: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill sandhi and समास daily — high-frequency objective marks on language papers and the multi-choice block.
2Keep a personal paryaya + viparita notebook with one Devanagari example sentence each.
3For literature, practise anvaya and भावार्थ outlines: context → meaning → theme for Shemushi extracts.
4Memorise letter and picture-description fill skeletons, then write full Sanskrit answers under 3-hour timing for code 049.
5Use this English MCQ bank for speed recognition only; productive Sanskrit writing still decides board long-answer marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official BSEH Secondary Sanskrit exam multiple choice?

No. The BSEH Secondary Sanskrit paper is a mixed written examination (objective multi-choice plus short/long answers and fill tasks) in Sanskrit. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation of Sanskrit skills — not a full writing simulation or official translation of the board paper.

What is date-sheet code 049 Sanskrit?

BSEH Secondary date sheets list Sanskrit as paper code 049 with a 3-hour duration (for example, 12:30 pm–3:30 pm on recent date sheets). Use the current year’s date sheet and syllabus on bseh.org.in for exact timing and any year-specific instructions.

Which book is prescribed for BSEH Class 10 Sanskrit?

BSEH Class 10 Sanskrit (code 049) uses शेमुषी भाग-2 (Shemushi Part 2) as the prescribed textbook (BSEH publication, NCERT-aligned; also listed among BSEH e-books). Confirm the year’s prescribed list and chapter cut on the official syllabus page.

How long is the Sanskrit paper and what is the pass mark?

The written Secondary Sanskrit paper is 3 hours (code 049). Theory is 80 marks with 20 internal assessment for a 100-mark subject total. Pass is commonly treated as about 33% of total marks. Always verify the current BSEH notification for pass and any grace-mark rules.

What topics should I revise for Secondary Sanskrit?

Revise sandhi (svara, vyanjana, visarga), समास and vigraha, कारक/विभक्ति, शब्द-रूप, धातु-रूप, प्रत्यय and उपसर्ग, vocabulary (paryaya/viparita), numbers and time writing, Shemushi literature themes, unseen-passage strategy, and composition fill patterns (letter and picture). Pair with official BSEH syllabus/QPD materials.

Why are these practice questions in English if the official paper is in Sanskrit?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL for students who research and study in English. Authentic Sanskrit words, short phrases, literary titles, or grammar examples appear in Devanagari when the skill requires them, with English explanations. This is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting of the BSEH paper and not a substitute for timed Sanskrit writing practice.

Where can I get official syllabus materials?

BSEH publishes Class 10 syllabus, model papers, marking schemes, and related materials at https://bseh.org.in (including syllabus/QPD pages such as syllabusqpd10th2026, model-paper pages, and e-books). Use those for timed handwritten practice after MCQ concept work.
