About the Punjab PSEB Matric Science Exam
Punjab PSEB Matric Science for Class 10 covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology aligned to the Board’s Matric syllabus and NCERT-style Class 10 Science. Core topics include chemical reactions and equations; acids, bases and salts; metals and non-metals; carbon compounds; life processes; control and coordination; how organisms reproduce; heredity; light reflection and refraction; the human eye and colourful world; electricity; magnetic effects of electric current; and our environment. Official assessment under the 2025–26 scheme is Theory 80 + INA 20 = 100, with a mixed objective/descriptive theory paper and pass commonly 33% total with min ~25% theory. This free local bank provides English four-option MCQs for revision and numerical practice; pair it with official syllabus materials and school INA work via pseb.ac.in. Official media may include English, Punjabi, and Hindi; this bank is an English MCQ study adaptation only.
Exam sponsor: Punjab School Education Board (PSEB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
PSEB Matric Science (2025–26 scheme: Science code 05) is assessed as Theory 80 + Internal Assessment (INA) 20 = 100 marks. The written board paper is mixed-format (objective and descriptive), typically about 3 hours — not a pure multiple-choice exam. Exact section splits and blueprints are set by PSEB for each academic year; always confirm the current syllabus and circulars on pseb.ac.in. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept and numerical fluency — it does not simulate the official constructed-response Matric paper or INA tasks.
Time Limit
About 3 hours (theory/written public examination; confirm year’s timetable)
Passing Score
Typically 33% of total subject marks (Theory + INA), with a minimum of about 25% in theory under the 2025–26 Science scheme. Always verify the current PSEB circular.
Exam / Certification Fees
As notified by PSEB and paid through schools for regular Matric sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).
Exam sponsor websiteFees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

Chemistry
Chemical reactions and equations (types, balancing, redox, rancidity); acids, bases, salts, pH and indicators; metals and non-metals (reactivity, extraction, corrosion, alloys); carbon compounds (bonding, functional groups, soaps, isomers).
Biology
Life processes (nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion); control and coordination (nervous system, hormones, plant tropisms); reproduction; heredity; our environment.
Physics
Light reflection and refraction (mirrors, lenses, power, refractive index); human eye and colourful world; electricity (Ohm’s law, series/parallel, heating effect, power, kWh); magnetic effects of current and domestic circuits.
Our Environment
Ecosystems and food chains, energy flow, biodegradable waste, ozone, biomagnification, greenhouse gases, and reduce–reuse–recycle.
