PRAYAGRAJ: In a first, the Uttar Pradesh basic education department has created question banks for over 25 lakh students in grades 9 and 10 at more than 27,000 schools affiliated with the UP Board.
These question banks are intended to help students prepare for competitive exams such as engineering and medical entrances.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi, along with the State Institute of Science Education (SISE) and subject experts from select universities, colleges, and secondary schools, has jointly prepared these question banks for science and mathematics, according to officials of the state secondary education department.

Manjusha Gupta, the science coordinator at SISE-Prayagraj, said that 12 and 13 chapters had been included in the science question bank of classes 9 and 10, respectively.
Each chapter comprised around 70 questions, including various multiple choice, very short, short, and long answer questions of cognitive, perceptual, applicational, and skill types. Thus, there was a compilation of about 840 questions for class 9 and another 910 questions for class 10 students, she said.
All the questions in the question bank will reinforce the vital concepts of science in the students, and they will be able to understand and practice them automatically, she said.
