Class 10 Physics Pairing Scheme 2026-27 for Tech Group – Overview
The pairing scheme (also called the paper scheme or paper setter instructions) is issued by PECTAA (Punjab Education, Curriculum, Training and Assessment Authority). It tells paper setters how to prepare the question paper, and it tells students what to expect in the exam. The Physics (Technology Group) paper is based on the new syllabus 2026-27 and is a short paper of 40 marks with a total time of 2 hours.
Physics (Tech) Paper Pattern 2027 – Marks Distribution
The paper has an objective part and a subjective part. Here is the full marks distribution in one table:
| Part | Question | What you do | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective | Q-1 | 10 MCQs, one from each chapter | 1 × 10 = 10 |
| Subjective Part-I | Q-2 | Short questions: attempt 4 out of 6 | 2 × 4 = 8 |
| Subjective Part-I | Q-3 | Short questions: attempt 4 out of 6 | 2 × 4 = 8 |
| Subjective Part-II | Q-4, Q-5, Q-6 | Detailed questions: attempt any 2 out of 3 (7 marks each) | 2 × 7 = 14 |
| Total | 10 + 8 + 8 + 14 = 40 | ||
Q-1 Objective Part – 10 MCQs from the Whole Book
The objective part contains 10 multiple choice questions, and each MCQ carries 1 mark. The MCQs are made from the entire content of the textbook, with one MCQ from every chapter. So no chapter should be skipped, because every chapter can give you a free mark. Read the definitions, formulas, units and basic concepts of each chapter before the test.
Q-2 and Q-3 Short Questions – Chapter Wise Division
The short part has two questions, and in each of them you answer 4 out of 6 questions. Each answer carries 2 marks, and the questions come from the textbook content.
Q-2: Chapters 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14
One short question each from chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13, and two short questions from chapter 14.
Q-3: Chapters 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19
One short question each from chapters 15, 16, 17 and 18, and two short questions from chapter 19.
Q-4, Q-5 and Q-6 Detailed Questions – Part (a) and Part (b)
Part-II has three detailed questions, and you attempt any two. Each detailed question carries 7 marks, and all of them are taken from the textbook content.
- Q-4: one detailed question from chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13.
- Q-5: one detailed question from chapters 14, 15 and 16.
- Q-6: one detailed question from chapters 17, 18 and 19.
Every detailed question has two parts. Part (a) carries 3 marks and may be asked from any chapter. Part (b) carries 4 marks and will be asked from a different chapter, not the same chapter as part (a). So if you prepare only one chapter of a group, you may miss part (b); prepare all chapters of each group.
How to Prepare Physics Tech Group Class 10 for the Annual Exam 2027
- Start with the pairing scheme: note which chapters are paired in each question.
- Revise definitions and units: MCQs and short questions are often direct.
- Practise numericals and diagrams: detailed questions need neat steps, formulas with units and labelled figures.
- Solve past and model papers: time yourself within 2 hours (15 minutes for the objective part).
- Check your attempt rule: 4 out of 6 in Q-2 and Q-3, and 2 out of 3 in Part-II, so you do not write extra answers.
