How the blueprint generator works
Rows define the design
Each row is Unit|Difficulty|Type|Marks|Questions. The tool totals marks, computes weightage %, and flags mismatch vs the intended paper maximum.
Source
Blueprint planning sheet used in teacher education / board exam design workshops. Not a substitute for an official board sample blueprint.
Frequently asked questions
What difficulty labels should I use?
Common sets are Easy / Average / Difficult, or Remember / Understand / Apply / Analyze (aligned to your board’s taxonomy).
Does this write the questions?
No — it plans marks distribution. Use it before item writing.
Can I match a 80-mark board paper?
Set paper maximum to 80 (or 70/100). The tool shows surplus/deficit against that total.
Is CBSE blueprint format enforced?
No single national template is hardcoded; mirror your subject’s official sample paper blueprint columns.
