CBSE Class 10 · Democratic Politics – II
CBSE Class 10 Civics (Political Science)
Class 10 Civics (Democratic Politics – II) is about ideas — power sharing, federalism, democracy — and the board rewards clear definitions, the right textbook examples (Belgium, Sri Lanka), and crisp cause-and-effect reasoning.
These free guides give each chapter a clean summary, the key points and definitions, the board-pattern questions, and the traps students fall into (swapped examples, blurred distinctions). The Escaya approach — free to read.
Board paper — at a glance
Civics is part of the 80-mark Social Science paper. Expect MCQ/objective items (1 mark) and short and long answers (3 and 5 marks). Definitions, "distinguish between" questions, and the standard examples from the textbook are tested again and again.
