CBQ Studio — the paper-setting half of your week
CBSE has mandated 50% competency-based, 20% MCQ and 30% descriptive since 2024–25, without model papers or rubrics to work from. This is the part of Almanack built for that, and it is what beta teachers get first.
Whole papers on the board's blueprint
Generate one question or a full paper against the 50/20/30 split. The mark mix is checked against the blueprint before the paper reaches you.
Stimulus, sub-questions, marking scheme
Each competency question arrives with a freshly written stimulus, sub-questions scaffolded to the mark split, and a marking scheme you could hand to a colleague.
Answer keys tied to the chapter
Every key cites the chapter it came from, and a three-layer verifier rejects invented chapter titles, fabricated subject codes and old-syllabus bleed-through before you see them.
CBSE-format export
Student and teacher copies export to Word and print in the board's paper format. Revise any question in your own words and it is re-verified.
Competency questions cover Classes 9–12 today. Holistic Progress Card narratives are next.
Built for the ten-second trust test
Built for the 50/20/30 mandate
Competency-based questions follow the board's assessment structure — stimulus, sub-questions and mark split — instead of returning a generic set of MCQs.
Real chapter boundaries
Grounded in published CBSE and NCERT chapter references, with invented titles and subject codes removed before delivery.
Honest data handling
Student observation notes are handled as sensitive classroom data. We make no unsupported India-residency claim.
Almanack stores curriculum structure and chapter references, not copyrighted textbook prose.
