QPT is a question paper maker that already knows the board pattern. Pick CBSE Standard or Basic, take questions from a shared bank or type your own, and print a clean A4 paper with its answer key — plus SET-2 and SET-3 if you need them.

The fiddly parts of a question paper, done properly.
Word documents fall apart the moment you move a question. QPT keeps numbering, section totals and the answer key in step while you work.
- Section-wise marking
- Set marks per section or per question. Headings like “(5 × 2 = 10)” and the running total update as you go, so you know when you hit 80.
- Internal choice (OR)
- Add an alternative to any question, or to a single sub-part of a case study — the way board papers give choice in the 2-mark part.
- Assertion–Reason codes
- Type only the Assertion and the Reason. The standard directions and options (A)–(D) are printed once, before the first A&R question.
- Case studies with sub-parts
- Passage first, then (i), (ii), (iii) with their own marks — 1, 1 and 2 by default — added up into the question total for you.
- Figures
- Attach a photo or a diagram to a question. It’s resized for print so the paper stays light.
- Answer key from the same file
- Mark the correct option while you write. Print the marking scheme separately — it follows the paper even after shuffling.
From blank to printed in three steps
-
1
Choose the paper design
CBSE Standard, CBSE Basic, Science, a half-yearly or a quick unit test. Sections, marks and general instructions are filled in. Your school name goes on the header automatically.

2
Add the questions
Press + under a section. Pick a ready question from the bank (filter by class, subject, chapter and marks), tweak a copy of one, or write a new one. You can also let QPT fill the empty slots, spread across chapters.

Print the paper and the key
The live preview on the right is the printed page. Print the question paper, then the answer key — or save both as PDF to send to the exam cell.
Paper designs that match the blueprint
Each design is a blueprint: how many questions, of what type, for how many marks. Your school’s administrators can add their own patterns for any board or class.
| Design | Sections | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE Mathematics Standard (041) | 20×1 · 5×2 · 6×3 · 4×5 · 3×4 | 80 |
| CBSE Mathematics Basic (241) | 20×1 · 5×2 · 6×3 · 4×5 · 3×4 | 80 |
| CBSE Science (086) | 20×1 · 6×2 · 7×3 · 3×5 · 3×4 | 80 |
| State Board annual | 20×1 · 10×2 · 10×3 · 6×5 | 100 |
| Half-yearly | 12×1 · 3×2 · 3×3 · 1×5 · 2×4 | 40 |
| Periodic test / Unit test | Short 3–4 section layouts | 25 / 20 |
SET-1, SET-2, SET-3 without retyping
Seating three students to a bench? Generate up to five sets from one paper. Each set keeps the same blueprint and the same total, but students next to each other won’t be looking at the same thing.
- Questions are shuffled inside each section; assertion–reason and case studies stay in their usual places.
- MCQ options are shuffled and each set’s answer key is re-mapped to match.
- Optionally swap in a different bank question of the same chapter, type and marks.
For teachers
Your papers are private to your account. Use bank questions as they are or edit your copy — change the numbers, reword it for your class — without touching anyone else’s.
For coordinators and admins
Keep one question bank, organised by board, class, subject and chapter. Decide which paper designs teachers can start from, and who else gets to manage them.
Questions teachers ask
Which question paper formats does QPT support?+
CBSE Mathematics Standard (041) and Basic (241), CBSE Science (086), a 100-mark state board layout, a 40-mark half-yearly, a 25-mark periodic test, a 20-mark unit test and a blank design you shape yourself. Administrators can add more.
Can I change a question taken from the question bank?+
Yes. Adding a bank question gives you your own copy inside the paper. Edit the wording, numbers or options; it’s marked “Edited copy” and the shared bank stays as it was.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. QPT runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Your papers are saved to your account, so you can start at school and finish at home.
How do I get a PDF?+
Open the paper, press Print, and pick “Save as PDF” as the printer. Do the same with “Answer key” for the marking scheme.
Can I type maths symbols?+
Type them directly — √, π, θ, °, ², ³, ∠, Δ — and they print as typed. For anything harder, attach the expression or diagram as an image.
