AJK BISE Matric (SSC) Mathematics (Classes IX and X): syllabus, papers and marking
A 75-mark paper per year in the 50 percent MCQ pattern: 36 MCQ marks and 39 subjective marks.
AJK BISE 50-percent MCQ model papers for SSC-I and SSC-II (NCP 2022-23 SLOs); DCRD Revised Scheme of Studies IX–X, March 2025 · First Annual and Second Annual series · grades A++ to U (IBCC scale)
AJK Matric Mathematics: where the marks go
AJK BISE’s Matric Mathematics is a 75-mark paper in each of Class IX and Class X: 48 MCQs at 0.75 mark each (36 marks) in 1 hour 10 minutes, then seven three-mark and three six-mark questions with internal choice (39 marks) in 1 hour 50 minutes. The questions are set on the summative SLOs of the NCP 2022-23 Mathematics curriculum.
Marks are lost on missing method and on sign errors. Our papers follow the published structure and mark method and answer separately.
Paper structure and what we mark
| Paper | Time | Marks | Weight | Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class IX · Section A — Multiple Choice (Class IX) | 1 h 10 min | 36 | 24% | 48 MCQs at 0.75 mark each: 32 straight MCQs (24 marks) and 16 scenario-based MCQs (12 marks) |
| Class IX · Sections B and C — Subjective (Class IX) | 1 h 50 min | 39 | 26% | Section B: 7 short questions of 3 marks, each with internal choice (21). Section C: 3 extended questions of 6 marks, each with internal choice (18) |
| Class X · Section A — Multiple Choice (Class X) | 1 h 10 min | 36 | 24% | 48 MCQs at 0.75 mark each: 32 straight MCQs (24 marks) and 16 scenario-based MCQs (12 marks) |
| Class X · Sections B and C — Subjective (Class X) | 1 h 50 min | 39 | 26% | Section B: 7 short questions of 3 marks, each with internal choice (21). Section C: 3 extended questions of 6 marks, each with internal choice (18) |
Syllabus outline
- Summative SLOs of the NCP 2022-23 Mathematics curriculum for Grades IX and X: sets, number systems, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and probability (SLO tables are published with the model paper)
How each paper is marked here
- The 48 MCQs are scored automatically against the key at 0.75 mark each.
- Short and long questions are marked on method and answer separately.
- Geometry answers are marked on stated reasons.
Where AJK Matric Mathematics candidates lose marks
- Method not shown — A bare final answer on a four- or eight-mark question forfeits the method marks; show the formula and each substitution.
- Sign errors when expanding or transposing — A dropped minus sign in factorisation, quadratic or logarithm work carries through every later line and is rarely rescued.
- Constructions and proofs without justification — Geometry answers need the stated reason beside each step (given, theorem, construction), not just the conclusion.
- Wrong form of the answer — Answers left as unsimplified fractions, surds or decimals to the wrong accuracy lose the final mark.
- Graph or diagram without scale and labels — Coordinate geometry, statistics and trigonometry diagrams earn marks for the scale, axes and labelled points.

Questions teachers ask
- Is Class X covered?
- The pattern heading in the AJK model papers reads “SSC-I & II”, so Class X is set in the same 60-mark structure; we have confirmed Class IX from the SSC-I paper itself.
- Why does the practical row not appear?
- The AJK scheme of studies gives Mathematics 75 marks per class with no practical.
- Is this official AJK BISE marking?
- No. Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Mirpur, Azad Jammu and Kashmir marks the real exam. This is examiner-style marking of mocks and homework for AJK Matric Mathematics. Only you see the marking, and you decide what reaches the student.
- Do you reproduce past-paper questions?
- No. Every Classes IX and X paper here is original and written to the ajk bise 50-percent mcq model papers for ssc-i and ssc-ii (ncp 2022-23 slos); dcrd revised scheme of studies ix–x, march 2025, in the same structure as the real papers shown above.
- Which papers are marked?
- None yet are marked question by question; Class IX · Section A, Class X · Section A are scored instantly. Practical exams sat at the centre are not marked here.
- How is the next paper chosen?
- From the marks a student lost: the concepts behind them are ranked by marks dropped, and the new paper weights those topics. It is the same syllabus and structure, with new questions.
- When are the exams?
- First Annual and Second Annual series. Grades A++ to U (IBCC scale).
