CBSE Class 12 Physics Sample Paper 2027 with Solutions PDF (2026-27)

Download the CBSE Class 12 Physics Sample Paper 2027 PDF with its marking scheme (solutions) – the official CBSE sample question paper (SQP) for the 2026-27 session, the paper to practise for the CBSE Class 12 board exam 2027. It is a 70-mark, 3-hour paper with 33 questions in 5 sections. The pattern is the same as the 2026 sample paper. The 2026 and 2025 sample papers are also here. Students also call it the CBSE 12th Physics model question paper 2027 or model test paper – it is the same official CBSE paper.

CBSE Class 12 Physics Paper Pattern 2027

How the 2027 sample paper is set (from the paper itself) – 70 marks, 3 hours, 33 questions:

Choice: No overall choice; internal choice in two questions of Section B (Q20, Q21), one question of Section C (Q27) and all three questions of Section E (Q31, Q32, Q33).

• All 33 questions and all five sections are compulsory.
• Use of calculators is not allowed.
• A list of physical constants is printed for use where necessary (c, mass of electron and proton, e, µ0, h, ε0, Avogadro’s number and radius of nucleus ≈ 10^-15 m).
• An alternative question is given for visually impaired students in place of the figure-based Q9 (Wheatstone bridge).

What Is New in the Physics Sample Paper 2027?

Compared with the 2026 sample paper (session 2025-26):

• No change in pattern – same 33 questions, 70 marks, 3 hours and Sections A–E with 16/10/21/8/15 marks (12 MCQ + 4 Assertion-Reason, 5×2, 7×3, 2 case studies ×4, 3×5) as the 2025-26 sample paper.
• Internal choice is in the same questions as 2025-26 (Q20, Q21 in B; Q27 in C; Q31–Q33 in E).
• Visually-impaired alternatives reduced: 2025-26 gave them for several figure/graph questions (e.g. Q5, Q18, Q20, Q26, Q30, Q31); 2026-27 gives one only for Q9.
• Case studies changed in style: 2025-26 Q29 was four circuit-based diode MCQs and Q30 (photoelectric cell) had sub-parts of 2, 1 and 1 marks; in 2026-27 both case studies have four 1-mark sub-parts – Q29 (flexible polymer semiconductors) has three MCQs and one short answer, Q30 (Einstein’s photoelectric equation) two short answers and two MCQs.
• A new constant – radius of nucleus ≈ 10^-15 m – is added to the printed list of constants; Section A heading now prints its marks (16 x 1 = 16).
• Footer note changed from ‘assessment scheme of the Academic Session 2024-25 will continue in … 2025-26’ to ‘There is no change in the Question Paper Design and Assessment Pattern for Academic Session 2026-27’.

Questions from the Physics Sample Paper 2027

Two questions from the 2027 paper, to show the level:

• Section A, 1 mark: If two identical heaters each rated as (1000 W, 220 V) are connected in parallel to 220 V, then the total power consumed is: (A) 200 W (B) 250 W (C) 2000 W (D) 2500 W
• Section D, 4 marks: Case study (Q30) on Einstein’s explanation of the photoelectric effect (E = hν, Kmax = hν − ϕ0): (I) Define work function. (II) Why does increasing the intensity of light not increase the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons? (III) A metal of work function 2 eV is illuminated by light of frequency 1.2 × 10^15 Hz – which statement is correct? (MCQ) (IV) Which observation(s) directly contradict the classical wave theory of light? (MCQ)

CBSE Class 12 Physics Marking Scheme 2027 (Solutions)

The 2026-27 marking scheme gives the correct option with a short explanation or calculation for every Section A question and worked answers for Sections B–E with ½/1-mark splits per step or point (e.g. the Snell’s-law derivation from Huygens’ principle, the binding-energy calculation, the step-up transformer answer listing any one loss for the last mark). For Q32 only the overall 2+2+1 split is shown, not per-step marks. Check your answers against it after you solve the paper.

How to Score Well – Tips from the 2027 Paper

• No calculators: the numericals are built for hand calculation – e.g. binding energy per nucleon of O-16 (16.12744 − 15.99493 u, × 931.5 MeV) in Q24 and the shunt for an ammeter extended from 100 A to 750 A in Q27(A).
• Know the printed constants list and use it directly – Q30(III) needs hν with h = 6.63 × 10^-34 J s to show Kmax ≈ 3 eV.
• Assertion-Reason questions test exact proportionalities: Q15’s Reason swaps the fringe-width dependence (β ∝ λ, β ∝ 1/d), so read each word of the Reason.
• Expect ‘explain why’ everyday-physics answers worth 1 mark each (Q23: car starting on a warm day, electric shock, heater reaching constant temperature) – one clear physical reason per part is what the scheme rewards.
• Long answers mix derivation and numericals: practise E = −dV/dr (Q31B), the compound-microscope image position and magnifying power (Q32A) and the step-up transformer with a labelled diagram (Q33A).
• 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.
