Compared with the 2026 sample paper (session 2025-26):
- No change in marks pattern – same 16 questions, same section totals (14/16/28/22) and the same marks per question; the 2027 paper states that there is no change in design or evaluation for 2026-27. One structural change: in Section C, poetry now comes first. Q7–Q8 are poetry and Q9–Q10 are prose; in 2026, Q7–Q8 were prose and Q9–Q10 were poetry.
- The word limit for Q11 (Sanchayan, 3 marks each) rose from about 40–50 words (2026) to about 50–60 words (2027).
- The General Instructions are more detailed: they now give the question and sub-question count per section. The Section C heading now names both books, ‘Sparsh’ and ‘Sanchayan’; in 2026 only Q11 named ‘Sanchayan’.
- Labels changed: sub-questions are now I–V instead of (क)–(ङ), and MCQ options are (A)–(D).
- Q16 order swapped: 2026 had the short story first and the e-mail (education-loan request) as the alternative; 2027 has the e-mail (to parents about attendance below 70%) first and the short story as the alternative.
- New passages and topics. Unseen: 2026 on ability/योग्यता and a lamp/light-themed passage; 2027 on puppetry and on composting.

How to Score Well – Tips from the 2027 Paper
- Section C now opens with a poetry extract (Q7). Revise Sparsh poems such as ‘Kar Chale Hum Fida’, ‘Manushyata’, ‘Top’ and ‘Parvat Pradesh Mein Pavas’, and Kabir’s sakhi, alongside the prose lessons.
- Sanchayan answers (Q11) now need about 50–60 words for 3 marks. Prepare ‘Harihar Kaka’, ‘Sapnon ke-se Din’ and ‘Topi Shukla’, including opinion questions (‘whom do you hold responsible and why?’).
- In grammar, practise picking out and naming phrases (noun, pronoun, verb and adverb phrases), samas vigrah with the type of compound, and idioms in fill-in-the-blank sentences.
- Section D has 5 writing tasks worth 22 marks. Practise all formats (formal letter, notice, advertisement, e-mail, short story); format or presentation carries a separate mark in each.
- Several assertion-reason MCQs use non-standard options (e.g. Q7 V only offers ‘both correct’ without the ‘explains / does not explain’ split), so read every option carefully.
- Solve the 2027 paper in one sitting with a timer, check it with the marking scheme, then solve the 2026 paper a few days later.
