KVS Class 12 History Pre-Board Papers 2024-25 — All Regions, Free Download
KVS has released History pre-board question papers from all its regions for 2024-25. Here's a complete breakdown of the paper format, the most tested topics across Ancient, Medieval, and Modern India, and direct download links.
History is a subject where the sheer volume of content can feel overwhelming — Harappan civilization, Mughal administration, the Revolt of 1857, constitutional debates — all in one paper. What KVS pre-board papers do is show you exactly which parts of that content actually get tested, and in what format. That clarity alone is worth more than hours of open-ended revision.
KVS has uploaded pre-board papers from all its regions in one folder. We reviewed over 20 files — here's everything that matters for your preparation.

📂 Click to open Access the Folder →| Section | Type | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | MCQ | 21 | 21 |
| Section B | Short Answer (60-80 words) | 6 | 18 |
| Section C | Long Answer (300-350 words) | 3 | 24 |
| Section D | Source-Based Questions | 3 | 12 |
| Section E | Map-Based Question | 1 | 5 |
| Total | — | 34 | 80 Marks |
Time allotted is 3 hours. Section C long answers carry 8 marks each and require 300-350 words — these are the most mark-intensive questions in the paper. Section D source-based questions are often underestimated: they test reading and inference, not just factual recall.
Section E carries 5 marks for map-based questions and is one of the most reliably scorable sections — yet many students underestimate it. The maps in Class XII History cover key sites: Harappan cities, Mauryan empire extent, major Buddhist sites, battle locations, and colonial-era places. Practicing map marking even twice before the exam can secure these 5 marks almost completely.
Multiple regional papers — Jaipur, Lucknow, and Hyderabad — all have map questions focused on ancient and medieval sites. Download 2-3 of these papers specifically to practice the map section.
Attempt the full paper under 3-hour timed conditions. History students often find that they write too much in Section C and run out of time for source-based questions. A good time split: 30 minutes for Section A MCQs, 40 minutes for Section B short answers, 60 minutes for Section C long answers, 30 minutes for Section D source-based, and 20 minutes for the map.
After the attempt, review your long answers by checking them against NCERT chapters. If your answer covers the main points but differs in structure or specifics, note what the NCERT version emphasises — that emphasis usually reflects what the examiner expects.
Best of luck with your boards. You've got this.

KVS Class 12 Geography Pre-Board Papers 2024-25 — All Regions, Free Download
KVS has released Geography (029) pre-board question papers from all its regions for 2024-25 and 2025-26. Here's a full breakdown of the paper pattern, the most tested topics, and direct download links.
Geography is one subject where students can gain or lose marks based entirely on how well they know the map component and definition-based questions. The content is broad — human development, population, transport, economic activities, Indian resources — but the question patterns are highly predictable once you've practiced with actual KVS papers.
KVS has uploaded Geography pre-board papers from all its regions in one folder. We reviewed over 17 files from that folder — here's what you need to know.

| Total | — | — | 70 Marks |
Time allotted is 3 hours. The paper covers both Part A — Fundamentals of Human Geography and Part B — India: People and Economy. The map section in Section E covers both world and India maps and carries significant marks — treat it as a priority, not an afterthought.
1. Human Development & Population — These two chapters together generate the most MCQ and short answer questions across all regional papers. Know the four pillars and four approaches to human development as distinct lists — they are often confused. For population, the Demographic Transition Model stages and India's specific growth phases (stagnant 1901-1921, slow growth, rapid growth, declining growth) appear in every paper.
2. Transport & Trade — Port types (Oil, Inland, Comprehensive, Natural) and their examples are a near-guaranteed MCQ topic. The Guwahati paper had a specific question on a port pair that was NOT correctly matched — this kind of negative question catches students who know the concept but haven't studied the examples. Know at least 2 examples for each port type.
3. India's Water Resources and Planning — Traditional water conservation structures (Kund, Tanka, Baoli) and government programmes are consistently tested in Section C short answers. The Indira Gandhi Canal question — specifically about its positive environmental influence — appeared in multiple papers. Know both the benefits and the challenges of large irrigation projects.
Attempt the full paper in 3 hours. Geography students often spend too much time on long answer questions and rush the map section. Reverse this habit — do the map section while your mind is fresh, since it requires recall rather than analysis. Then move to MCQs, short answers, and finally long answers.
For assertion-reason MCQs — which multiple regional papers (Bengaluru, Chennai) include — practice the four possible combinations: both correct and reason explains assertion; both correct but reason doesn't explain; assertion correct but reason wrong; both wrong. Identifying which combination applies is the actual skill being tested.
