About the PSEB Matric Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) Exam
Punjab PSEB Matric Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) is the Class 10 Group-A language paper for students who offer Urdu instead of Hindi under the Punjab School Education Board. Official subject code is 71: Theory 80 + INA 20 = 100. It is not the same paper as Urdu Elective (code 10, Group-B). Official assessment is a mixed written examination in Urdu (Nastaliq tradition) covering reading/comprehension, composition, grammar, vocabulary, and literature from the year’s PSEB syllabus. The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of grammar, vocabulary, and literature concepts that preserves Urdu terms where the skill is tested. They are not an official translation, full writing/oral substitute, Elective (10) bank, or inventory of any single textbook’s chapter titles — always pair with the current PSEB syllabus PDF and prescribed reader.

PSEB Matric Urdu (in lieu of Hindi): Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PSEB Class 10 Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) the same as Urdu Elective?
No. Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) is Group-A subject code 71 — the alternative to Hindi (03). Urdu Elective is Group-B subject code 10 with a separate elective syllabus path. Do not mix the two papers, textbooks, or practice banks.
What is the theory–INA mark pattern for code 71?
Under the official PSEB Class X Scheme of Studies, Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) (71) is Theory 80 + INA 20 = 100. INA is internal assessment arranged through the school as notified for the year.
Is the official exam pure multiple-choice?
No. Official PSEB Matric Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) is a mixed written paper in Urdu with reading, writing, grammar, and literature tasks under Theory 80 + INA 20. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept fluency only — not a full writing-task or official-paper substitute.
How long is the PSEB Matric Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) paper?
Board theory papers at Matric level are commonly about 3 hours. Confirm the year’s date sheet and instructions on pseb.ac.in. INA activities are timed separately by the school as notified.
What is the passing score?
PSEB commonly requires about 33% in the aggregate of theory + practical + INA, with a frequently cited minimum of about 25% in theory. Always verify the current PSEB result circular for your year.
Why are these practice questions in English if the official paper is in Urdu?
OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL for students who research and study in English. Authentic Urdu words, short phrases, and grammar terms appear when the skill requires them, with English explanations. This is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting of the PSEB paper and not a substitute for timed Urdu writing.
What topics should I revise for code 71?
Revise Urdu grammar (parts of speech, agreement, postpositions, نے, izāfat, tense/voice), vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, idioms), literature concepts (ghazal craft, genres, devices, major figures), reading strategies for seen/unseen extracts, and composition formats (application, letter, essay). Always follow the year’s PSEB Urdu (in lieu of Hindi) syllabus and prescribed reader — not the Elective (10) book list by default.
Where can I find official PSEB materials?
Use pseb.ac.in for board notices, datesheets, and the Class 10 syllabus index; static.pseb.ac.in Scheme of Studies PDFs for codes/marks (Hindi 03 / Urdu in lieu of Hindi 71; Theory 80 + INA 20); and the Urdu in lieu of Hindi syllabus PDF published by PSEB for the examination year.
