Overview

In a Normal Blueprint, the teacher defines the complete structure of the paper — including:
  • Subject
  • Chapter
  • Question Type
  • Question Category (e.g., VSA, SA, LA)
  • Optional Difficulty Level
  • Number of Questions
  • Marks per Question
Each time a paper is generated using a Normal Blueprint, Examin8 automatically selects different questions of the same type and chapter, ensuring variety while following the same structure.

When to Use Normal Blueprint

Use this when you want:
  • Fixed control over which chapters are included.

  • Auto-rotation of questions while maintaining syllabus balance.
