An Overview of ICSE Class 10 Hindi

The board examinations are almost near, and it is high time that students begin with their rigorous preparation for examinations. They must pay keen attention to all subjects, including minor ones like Hindi and English. At Vedantu, we provide students with Hindi ICSE Class 10 sample question papers. But, do these sample papers help? Yes. They undoubtedly do. The 10th board examinations play a key role for the students to decide their prospective careers. This makes them anxious about their performance and marks. But, they need not worry. With ample practice, they can easily score well.


Language papers like English and Hindi are extremely scoring papers and often students study the subjects not because they love the syllabus but because they need great scores to increase their average percentage. Because of the extensive books, short stories, and poems, students do not show much interest and prefer to study the language papers just a few days before the exam. All experts suggest that keeping the syllabus in mind, students can score well in the paper simply by studying smarter and not harder. Sounds weird but this is true! Language-based subjects usually test your hold over the concepts of, not just the grammar portion, but also the critical analysis power and the knowledge and comprehension of information in terms of Literature. Students should read the Chapters thoroughly and understand the text since it is a compulsory subject to study- basically, a do-or-die situation that cannot be escaped! Once the Chapters are understood, students can make short notes of the prose or write down the themes of poems or characters in the play as per the syllabus. Vocabulary has great importance here since it helps in faring well in the essay/ letter writing sections of the Hindi Language paper.

2. Is there an internal assessment in ICSE Class 10 Hindi?

ICSE Class 10 Hindi is of 100 marks in total. It is further divided into two parts- theory paper (80 marks) and internal assessment (20 marks). For many students, this might feel tedious, but the internal assessments have often saved the grade since it is an integral part of the paper as well as very scoring. The topics for the internal assessment are given by the teacher as per the syllabus or a sound development of intra/inter communicative, oral, or writing skills like debates, drama, music, poetry, etc., may be included as well.  

3. How do we make short notes for the Class 10 Hindi paper?

Because there is a choice of 2 out of 4 books to read and study, students can make short notes accordingly. For plays, answers on characters, themes, critical analysis of dialogues, plot, symbols, the significance of the Acts, etc., can be written. For short stories, the plot, characters, varied situations, etc., can be marked and made short notes /on. For poems, the poet, structure, themes, critical analysis/ paraphrasing, etc., can be looked into. One does not have to make extensive notes for Hindi unless a student is unable to understand the Chapter at all.

4. Where do we find the best resources for ICSE Class 10 Hindi?

Language subjects do not need too many resources except for Grammar or for understanding the pattern of the paper. Solving questions after every Chapter or the previous years’ question papers and mock/sample papers are more than enough to score well in the Board exams which can be downloaded in Vedantu in PDF format for free.. In Hindi, Grammar is all about logic. Once the student is able to understand the why’s, how’s, and what’s in the Grammar section, students need not worry too much about the rest. Vocabulary should be great for writing essays so practicing essay writing is a must.

5. Why is Hindi a scoring paper?

All language subjects like English and Hindi are very scoring, especially the Grammar since it is an objective (short answer type question) part of the paper. Even the Literature section can be scoring, only if the student has read all the texts (plays, prose, and poetry) word by word. Students can take such papers for granted but still, it is mandatory for them to study since it is a compulsory paper. In the subjective portion like the Essay and Letter writing, students have to practice writing as much as possible.
