NCERT Books for Class 10 Hindi

NCERT Hindi for Class 10 covers the official syllabus prescribed by CBSE and most state boards that follow NCERT. The Hindi curriculum at this level emphasises foundational concepts and exam-aligned learning. Below you will find every NCERT book for this subject — each card links to the book's chapter list, plus a one-click full-book download from ncert.nic.in.

How Class 10 Hindi is structured

NCERT publishes Class 10 Hindi across 4 books — Kshitij II (12 chapters), Sparsh II (14 chapters), Kritika (3 chapters), Sanchayan II (3 chapters) — totalling 32 chapters in the current 2025-26 edition. The chapter list below covers all books with verified PDF links from ncert.nic.in.

Class 10 Hindi — first CBSE board year

Class 10 Hindi is the first CBSE board examination subject. The board paper is constructed strictly from this NCERT book + the Class 9 Hindi foundations combined. End-of-chapter exercises + NCERT Exemplar Problems together cover roughly 85 percent of the board-paper question patterns. CBSE publishes annual sample papers at cbseacademic.nic.in — these mirror the upcoming year's paper format and are essential for final-month preparation.

Strong NCERT mastery for Hindi eliminates the need for commercial supplementary books for board preparation. Schools may use exemplar / RD Sharma / Lakhmir Singh / Arihant for additional practice — these add problem volume but the syllabus is NCERT.

What parents and students should focus on

1. NCERT thoroughness — every CBSE board paper question traces back to NCERT chapters. Solve the end-of-chapter exercises end-to-end.
2. NCERT Exemplar Problems — supplementary practice book for Hindi, free at ncert.nic.in/exemplar-problems.php.
3. CBSE Sample Papers — released annually around January-February at cbseacademic.nic.in. Treat as the calibration tool for board format.
4. Time-bound mock tests — write a full 3-hour paper end-to-end at home in the final 2-3 months before the board exam. Time management is as important as content mastery.
5. Lab and practical work — many CBSE schools weight 20-30 percent of the Hindi score on internal assessments / labs. Active engagement matters.

How Hindi builds across classes in NCERT

Class 9 Hindi foundation. The chapters in Hindi you studied at Class 9 are the prerequisites for this material. If you found any Class 9 chapter difficult, revisiting it briefly before tackling the higher-order topics here pays off — the conceptual chain matters more than memorisation.

Class 11 Hindi preview. Next year's Hindi extends the conceptual frameworks introduced here.

CBSE Class 10 board year. This is your second-and-final pre-board OR board year for Hindi. The board paper is built strictly off this NCERT book. End-of-chapter exercises plus NCERT Exemplar Problems together cover roughly 85 percent of board-paper question patterns — solving them end-to-end is the highest-leverage preparation activity.

Three ways students and parents use this page

As a study reference. Bookmark it on your phone, share the URL with your child or study group, and refer back during the academic year. The page structure is intentionally stable — same hierarchy, same sources, same labels — so revisiting it weeks later doesn't require re-orienting yourself.

As a verification anchor. When a coaching brochure or third-party education site claims something about NCERT — what's in / what's out / what's coming — cross-check it here. Every claim on this page links back to the official NCERT, CBSE, or NTA source. If a third-party claim contradicts what's here, follow our source link first; we cite the canonical document.

As a navigation hub. Each page links up (to the parent class hub or NCERT root) and across (to adjacent chapters, subjects, or related deletion pages). The hierarchy is designed to support depth-first browsing — start broad, drill down, and pop back up. Use the breadcrumbs at the top of every page to navigate the hierarchy without losing context.

If you're a teacher or counsellor, this page is also designed to print cleanly to a single PDF — no popups, no distracting ads, no required logins.

Beyond NCERT — other free Government of India learning resources

NCERT is the canonical syllabus, but it isn't the only free educational resource the Indian government publishes. Each of the platforms below complements NCERT for a specific use case.

ePathshala (epathshala.nic.in) is the Ministry of Education's digital reader for NCERT books. It hosts the same PDFs as ncert.nic.in but with an enhanced flipbook interface that's easier to read on phones. Use it when you want a screen-friendly reading experience rather than a download. Note: ePathshala does not host any content not also available on ncert.nic.in — both are sourced from the same NCERT-published files.

DIKSHA (diksha.gov.in) is the Ministry of Education's video-and-interactive content platform. It curates chapter-aligned videos (some from NCERT's own YouTube channel, some third-party), interactive quizzes, and 'energised textbook' augmentations — QR codes inside printed NCERT books that link to DIKSHA media. Use DIKSHA when you want video reinforcement of a chapter you've already read; it's not a substitute for the textbook.

Swayam (swayam.gov.in) hosts MOOCs (massive open online courses) from IITs, IIMs, IISc, and other Indian institutions of national importance. Most courses target undergraduates, but some target Class 11-12 with dedicated CBSE-aligned content. Genuinely useful for self-driven Class 11-12 students; the certificates are NPTEL/UGC-recognised.

Swayam Prabha (swayamprabha.gov.in) is a 32-channel DTH education broadcast that runs 24×7. Schedules align with the academic year. Useful for students in low-connectivity areas where streaming video is unreliable.

NCERT Official YouTube (youtube.com/@NCERTOFFICIAL) hosts chapter-aligned video lessons authored by NCERT-empanelled teachers. Free, embeddable, and authoritative — these are the videos we curate on our chapter pages where available.

Editorial policy and how this page is maintained

Every NCERT-related page on GetSchoolsInfo is built from the same editorial policy, summarised here for transparency:

Source-of-truth. All chapter PDFs and rationalisation booklets are hot-linked directly to ncert.nic.in — the official Government of India publisher of NCERT content. We do not host PDFs on our own CDN, we do not redirect through ads, and we do not wrap NCERT links behind a registration wall. If NCERT issues a corrected or updated PDF, the link auto-refreshes from NCERT's CDN — you always get the latest version.

No commercial upsell. We do not sell or promote commercial guidebooks (RD Sharma, Lakhmir Singh, Together with..., Educart, Oswaal, Arihant). For CBSE board preparation, NCERT textbooks plus NCERT Exemplar Problems are sufficient; commercial books are supplementary at best. For JEE / NEET / CUET preparation, coaching modules add problem volume but are not a replacement for NCERT mastery.

Update cadence. Class-level and subject-level pages are reviewed annually before the academic year start (March-April). Chapter-level PDF link health is checked monthly via automated cron. The dateModified field at the bottom of every page reflects the most recent content edit; the inside cover of each NCERT PDF carries the print-edition year.

Verification. Every factual claim on this page can be cross-checked against the official NCERT rationalisation booklet (BookletClass{N}.pdf on ncert.nic.in), the latest CBSE Sample Paper PDF (cbseacademic.nic.in), or the relevant NTA bulletin (NEET/JEE/CUET 2026 syllabus documents). Disagreements between NCERT and NTA are explicitly flagged via our deleted-syllabus reconciliation pages — we do not paper over the gap.
