# NCERT Textbook Mode

> In the Examin8 Test Generator platform, the “Textbook” blueprint mode is a special option meant for creating question papers solely from the chapter-end questions given in the NCERT textbook rather than from the full question bank or a pre-filled blueprint. The best part of this blueprint mode is that it's 100% free. 

### What is it?

* When you choose the “Textbook” mode as your source of questions, you’re opting to pick questions from the textbook’s chapter-end questions only.
* In this mode, you typically get the “NCERT Textbook” option under “Source Selection” when generating a paper.
* It is presented as the **free / “Basic”** mode of Examin8. Using the textbook-questions-only mode does not deduct from one’s paid-paper count (for users with a subscription) — it’s free to use.

### What it is *not*

* It is *not* the same as a “prefilled blueprint” mode, where the system uses a formatted question-paper template with marks, sections, difficulty levels, and a mix of question types drawn from the full question bank. (That would be other modes like “Automated” or “Dynamic”.)
* It doesn’t necessarily let you fully customise every aspect of structure unless you pick a more advanced mode; it’s oriented towards using textbook question lists.

### How to use it

1. In the paper-creation process: after selecting class, subject and module, you’ll see **Source Selection**. Choose the **NCERT Textbook** or equivalent.
2. Then you’ll choose **Blueprint Mode**: there you select the “Textbook” mode (or “Text-book” mode) as your structuring method.
3. You select the chapters from which you want to pull questions (because you’re working from textbook chapter-end questions).
4. The system displays the available textbook questions. You can pick them one by one.
5. Finalise the paper, download as PDF/Word.

### When to use the Textbook mode

* Ideal for **school-level term tests**, where you want to ensure questions are drawn directly from textbook-chapter-end questions (makes preparation more aligned with the students’ textbook work).
* Useful when you are working with boards/streams where the textbooks carry significant weight in examinations (for example, CBSE with NCERT).
* Good for quick paper generation without needing to worry about custom question types, difficulty mixes, and full question-bank variety.
