Employability skills class 10 MCQ practice covers Part A of the CBSE Artificial Intelligence (417) paper: Communication Skills, Self-Management Skills, ICT Skills, Entrepreneurial Skills and Green Skills, two marks each, ten of the fifty theory marks. In the 2025-26 sample paper, Part A printed six one-mark objective items and students answered any four, with no negative marking. This page gives 45 original MCQs, nine per unit, with answers and reasons. Modern Age Coders drills them live inside the 417 batch on Monday and Wednesday at 9:00 PM IST, or one to one at the family's own time.
Q1. How many Part A MCQs are in the paper?
In the 2025-26 sample paper for 417, six one-mark objective items came from Part A and you answered any four of them. The 2026-27 sample paper is not out yet, so we drill to that shape without promising its exact count.
| Part A unit (Class 10 book) | Marks | What the objective items usually test | MCQs below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communication Skills-II | 2 | Steps of the communication cycle, types of barrier, the 7Cs, verbal against non-verbal against visual | 1 to 9 |
| Self-Management Skills-II | 2 | Stress and its management, self-awareness, internal and external motivation, SMART goals, time management | 10 to 18 |
| ICT Skills-II | 2 | Operating system and interface, files, computer care, malware, passwords, safe browsing | 19 to 27 |
| Entrepreneurial Skills-II | 2 | Who an entrepreneur is, qualities and functions, myths, role in society, entrepreneurship as a career | 28 to 36 |
| Green Skills-II | 2 | Sustainable development, the 17 goals, renewable resources, everyday green actions | 37 to 45 |
Want the explanations and two-mark answers first? They are on CBSE Class 10 AI Part A employability skills.
Q2. Units 1 and 2 of Part A
Questions 1 to 18, with the answer and reason under each.
Q3. Units 3 and 4 of Part A
Questions 19 to 36. ICT items turn on naming the right threat; entrepreneurship items on spotting a myth.
For the full 417 objective bank, where Part A sits beside the AI units, see Class 10 AI MCQ questions.
Q4. Unit 5 of Part A
Questions 37 to 45. Most marks here go to knowing the goals by number and title, and to telling a renewable resource from one that runs out.
2 Zero Hunger · 3 Good Health and Well-being · 4 Quality Education · 5 Gender Equality · 6 Clean Water and Sanitation · 7 Affordable and Clean Energy · 12 Responsible Consumption and Production · 13 Climate Action · 14 Life Below Water · 15 Life on Land.
Q5. Where do Part A objective marks go?
Part A marks go to pairs of terms that sound alike. These six pairs cause most misses when we mark class sets.
| Unit | Pair that gets mixed up | One-line test to separate them |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Decoding and feedback | Decoding happens inside the receiver's head; feedback travels back to the sender. |
| Communication | Non-verbal and visual | Body does it: non-verbal. A picture, sign or chart does it: visual. |
| Self-management | Internal and external motivation | Would they still do it with no reward or praise? Then it is internal. |
| ICT | Worm and Trojan | Spreads on its own: worm. Hides inside a useful-looking program: Trojan. |
| Entrepreneurship | Myth and fact | Any statement with "only", "must" or "born" is usually the myth. |
| Green skills | Reduce and recycle | Reduce stops waste being made; recycle turns waste into something new. |
Section A also uses assertion and reason items, which are practised on CBSE Class 10 AI assertion reason questions. Printable Part A sheets sit on CBSE Class 10 AI worksheets.
Q6. How is Part A drilled in class?
Part A gets short, regular slots rather than one long chapter, because its terms are easy to forget by February.
From November, a Monday class ends with a nine-item set from one Part A unit. Answers are opened together on the shared screen and the class says why each wrong option fails.
Wednesday opens with a few items from all five units, so November's learning still holds in January.
Each full timed mock carries the Part A objective items and short answers, so students practise choosing their four and writing two-mark answers to time.
The mock dates are on the sample paper and mock tests page, and a last-week sweep of Part A is part of Class 10 AI one shot revision.
Batch or personalised: you choose
The batch works through all five Part A units on a fixed rhythm alongside the AI units. One to one lets a student who keeps missing one unit, say ICT threats or the SDG numbers, drill only that until it holds. Monthly billing, no admission fee, stop at the end of any month.
Option 1 · Fixed batch timings
₹1,499
per month, two live classes a week
Option 2 · Choose your own timing
₹4,999
per month, one private class a weektwo private classes a week, at a time set with you
Part A alone rarely needs one to one. It usually rides along with the AI units: a student weak in evaluating models or NLP gets the most from personalised classes, and Part A drill is added to the same hour. A student who is on track does well in the batch. Fees appear in your own currency.
Studying outside India?
CBSE schools abroad set the same Part A units, from the same Class 10 book, so the objective items are the same wherever the student sits. Here is the batch hour in local time this winter.
| Where you live | Mon and Wed 9:00 PM IST | Best format |
|---|---|---|
| India (IST) every Indian city | 9:00 PM | Batch fits |
| UAE and Oman Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat | 7:30 PM | Batch fits |
| Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Doha, Kuwait City, Manama | 6:30 PM | Batch fits |
| Nepal Kathmandu | 9:15 PM | Batch fits |
| Ethiopia and East Africa Addis Ababa and East Africa Time | 6:30 PM | Batch fits |
| Singapore and Malaysia Singapore, Kuala Lumpur | 11:30 PM | Choose 1-on-1 |
If 9:00 PM IST is too late in your city, one to one runs at a local hour you choose. More for families outside India is on CBSE Class 10 AI online classes in the Gulf and abroad.

Questions about Part A MCQs
This page has 45 original MCQs for CBSE Class 10, nine from each Part A unit: Communication, Self-Management, ICT, Entrepreneurial and Green Skills. Each has four options, the answer and a short reason that explains why the tempting wrong option fails. They are written for the 2026-27 AI 417 paper.
Ten of the fifty theory marks, two for each of the five units. In the 2025-26 sample paper this came as six one-mark objective items, of which any four were answered, and five two-mark short answers, of which any three were answered. The 2026-27 sample paper for 417 has not been published yet.
No. The 2025-26 sample paper for 417 has no negative marking, so attempt every item you choose and use elimination when unsure. Read the instructions on the day about how many Part A items to answer, because answering extra ones does not add marks.
The Part A units and the Class 10 employability skills book are shared by CBSE skill subjects, so the topics match and the same practice helps. Each subject has its own question paper, though, so the exact items differ. This page is set out for the AI 417 paper.
The steps of the communication cycle (sender, encoding, channel, receiver, decoding, feedback), the types of barrier (physical, linguistic, interpersonal, organisational, cultural), the 7Cs of effective communication, and telling verbal, non-verbal and visual communication apart. Questions 1 to 9 above cover each of these.
Stress and how to manage it, including the ABC model (Adversity, Beliefs, Consequences), self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses, internal against external motivation, SMART goals, and the steps of time management such as organising and prioritising. Questions 10 to 18 practise each one.
What an operating system does and examples of one, graphical and command line interfaces, care of a computer, kinds of malware such as viruses, worms and Trojans, firewalls, strong passwords, https and the padlock, backups and phishing. Most items ask you to name the threat or the protection.
Seventeen, set by the United Nations to be reached by 2030. Green skills MCQs often name a goal by number, so learn at least Goal 4 Quality Education, Goal 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, Goal 7 Affordable and Clean Energy, Goal 12 Responsible Consumption and Production and Goal 13 Climate Action.
Who an entrepreneur is, qualities such as risk-taking, creativity and perseverance, the functions of an entrepreneur, myths such as "entrepreneurs are born, not made", the role of entrepreneurs in society, and wage employment against self-employment. Many items tell a short story and ask which quality it shows.
It is part of the ordinary 417 course: Part A sets, mixed recall, and the Part A section of every mock are covered by the monthly fee shown on this page, in the batch or one to one. There is no admission fee and the first class is a free demo.
Start
In the free first class your child sits a short Part A set from two units and one set from an AI unit, then goes through the answers with the teacher. You will see how the reasons are taught, not just the letters, and the mentor will tell you plainly which units need work and whether the batch or one to one fits better.
