Chandigarh Gone are the days when students would throng bookshops to lay hands on previous years’ question papers. With education fast becoming technology driven, sample test papers for Classes X and XII are now easily available online. Several websites have been devoted for sample tests, also known as guess papers.

Moving a step ahead with times, the CBSE as well as the ICSE have uploaded the previous years’ question papers on their website. Students can find sample Board papers on www.cbse.guess.com and www.icseguess.com.

To make things easier for students, the websites also have links for specific subjects. Certain private players too have set up links to provide the guess papers, like www.indiastudychannel.com and www.edunewz.com.

Meanwhile, the trend of ‘blogging’ to discuss questions is also fast catching up with the youngsters. “With the examinations approaching, I am utilising my blog to seek answers to the difficult questions. The Internet is a storehouse of information and with question papers available online, studying has become an easy task,” says Arnav, a student of Class XII.

His friend Kunal adds: “The best part about online sample tests is that one can prepare for possibly all solutions. Also, there is no scope of printing errors in the online version.”

Teachers, too, are seeing this emerging trend in a positive light. “Students these days are Internet savvy. Online tests not only help them revise the syllabus but also give information like marking schemes and changed pattern of question papers,” says Amarjeet Singh, a government school teacher.

Fradulant site from a Revenue Generating perpective by Rajesh on 07 Apr 2009

India Study Channel...is good for students..but I believe they are violating Google policy and will soon be in trouble if not already being under the watchful eye....I know of many folks who copy contents (papers, artciles, etc..) from other website to IndiaStudyChannel to generate revenue through Google AdSense.....This is I believe not approved by Google.IndiaStudyChannel has it somewhere in the print asking its user not to copy papers from anywhere but I doubt if they do anything proactive about it !Good site for students and but a fradulant site from revenue generating perpective !!My 2 cents -:)

ISC by VK on 16 Jan 2009

Your report was interesting; the Internet has definitely opened up a vast oppurtunity for students to get detailed information about educational institutes and courses. The even greater oppurtunity to freely access online papers greatly helps them to prepare well for any exam. India Study Channel (ISC) is just one of the many educational portals that helps students in this way. It also provides information about projects and fresher job openings.

India Study Channel by Koushikinath Misra on 16 Jan 2009

It is good site for both who are studying in a school and colleges regardless of which domain he or she is reading. They are getting syllables, question papers, study paper, subjects materials. Not only the students but the jobfienders also can get required information for their jobs. There are various other sections also, such as discussion forum.
