### (1) Source of Questions

There are primarily two sources of questions. NCERT Textbook questions and all other questions. Here is a brief description of both of them:

**(a) NCERT Textbook**: If you choose the NCERT Textbook questions option, you will get all the in-text, example, and end-of-chapter questions exactly as they appear in the NCERT textbook. Creating question papers in this mode is completely free, and even with a paid plan, these papers will not be counted or deducted from your quota.

<Card title="NCERT Textbook Mode" icon="book" iconType="regular" horizontal href="/exam-management/textbook-mode">
  Create question papers using NCERT textbook questions. It's **100% free**.
</Card>

**(b) All Questions (Premium):** This option includes questions from the NCERT textbook, NCERT Exemplar, previous years’ question banks, as well as questions created by our expert faculty and contributed by other teachers. It also features the latest exam-pattern questions, such as case studies, assertion–reason, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, true/false, statement-based, picture-based, map-based, passage-based, extract-based, and more. The question bank is updated almost daily to ensure fresh and relevant content.

### (2) Test Paper Type

After selecting the question source, you will be prompted to choose the type of question paper. If you select the **NCERT Textbook**, only two options will be available: **Question Paper** and **Worksheet**. However, if you choose **All Questions (Premium)**, you will have access to additional options. Below are the types of test papers you can create using the premium feature:

**(a) Question Paper (PDF/Word):** A standard question paper available in PDF and Microsoft Word formats. A separate solutions PDF is also provided. This format is best suited for offline examinations.

**(b) Worksheet (PDF/Word):** Similar to a question paper but without maximum marks, time limit, or general instructions. Ideal for creating worksheets and homework assignments.

**(c) Online Test – Objective (Link):** An online test consisting only of objective-type questions such as MCQs, true/false, fill in the blanks, and one-word answers. Results are generated automatically.

**(d) Online Test – Subjective (Link):** An online test that includes both objective and subjective questions. The objective section is evaluated automatically, while the subjective responses are assessed by the teacher. Students upload question-wise images of their answers.

### (3) Blueprint Mode

As part of our standard process, we first create a **blueprint** before preparing the actual question paper. A blueprint is the foundational framework of a question paper that outlines its overall structure. It clearly defines the number of questions, types of questions, mark-wise distribution, general instructions, total marks, and time duration. This ensures the question paper is well-balanced, systematic, and aligned with assessment objectives.

There are multiple blueprint modes available on Examin8 Test Generator. Here is a tabular comparison of all these blueprint modes:

| Mode         | Expected Time | Skills Required | Flexibility |
| ------------ | ------------- | --------------- | ----------- |
| Manual       | 30 Minutes    | High            | Very High   |
| Express      | 10 Minutes    | Moderate        | Moderate    |
| Dynamic      | 5 Minutes     | Minimal         | Moderate    |
| Automated    | 2 Minutes     | Minimal         | Minimal     |
| PYQ          | 2 Minutes     | Minimal         | Minimal     |
| My Questions | 60 Minutes    | Very High       | Very High   |
| Textbook     | 30 Minutes    | Moderate        | Moderate    |
