Punjab B.Ed 2025 Set A, Q91 (Part D) · official answer key
The 2025 Set A key runs to 180 questions because Part E appears twice. You answer only the Punjabi or the Hindi part, so your attempt is 150 questions.
How to Use Punjab B.Ed Previous Year Papers?
- Give yourself 2 hours 30 minutes. 150 questions in 150 minutes is one minute a question. Short recall questions in Parts A and D go quickly, which leaves more time for the series, coding and reasoning questions in Part C.
- Answer every question. There is no negative marking, so a blank scores the same as a wrong answer. Guess on anything you cannot work out.
- Practise the right Part E. If you studied Punjabi in Matriculation, solve questions 121 to 150; if not, solve the Hindi part, 151 to 180.
- Solve 2025 and 2024 first, because both have keys and the same 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM paper. Then use 2017 to 2022 for extra Part A and Part B practice.
- Plan for August 2027. That is about nine months away. One paper every two weeks covers all six papers on this page twice before the test.
