About Padhantu
Built for students preparing for CBSE board exams — real past papers, answers that follow the marking scheme, and practice tests on a real exam clock.
Where the questions come from
Every question on Padhantu is taken from an actual past CBSE board paper — the papers students sat in exam halls, from 2010 to the latest session. We don't write lookalike questions: if it's on Padhantu, it was asked by the board.
How the answers are written
Each answer is written against the official marking scheme for its paper: the same step-wise allocation examiners use to award marks. A 3-mark answer shows you the three things that earn marks — not a paragraph that happens to be correct. Answers include explanations, common mistakes, and hints so you learn the method, not just the result.
How answers are reviewed
Before an answer is published it is checked against the marking scheme and the original paper, and answers are revised whenever CBSE updates the syllabus or the pattern changes. If you find an error, report it from the question page — corrections ship quickly.
Why the practice tests exist
Reading answers is half the preparation. The other half is sitting a paper on a clock. Padhantu's practice tests reuse the same real board questions in a full-screen, timed exam interface — with automatic saving, instant scoring for MCQs, and model answers for written questions — so the first paper you face under pressure isn't the real one.
