Q2. Units 1 and 2 of Part A

## Communication skills class 10 MCQ and self management skills MCQ, with answers

Questions 1 to 18, with the answer and reason under each.

### Communication Skills-II

1. In the communication cycle, the receiver turning a message back into meaning is called (a) encoding (b) decoding (c) feedback (d) the channel Answer**(b)** The sender encodes; the receiver decodes. Feedback is the reply that comes after decoding.
2. A class teacher writes "Project due Friday" on the notice board. In the cycle, the notice board is the (a) sender (b) receiver (c) channel or medium (d) feedback Answer**(c)** It carries the message from teacher to students. The teacher is the sender, the students are the receivers.
3. A listener gives a thumbs up to show she has understood. In the cycle this is (a) noise (b) encoding (c) feedback (d) a barrier Answer**(c)** It is a response sent back to the speaker, here without words. Being non-verbal does not stop it being feedback.
4. A video call keeps freezing because the mobile signal is weak. Which barrier is this? (a) physical (b) linguistic (c) interpersonal (d) cultural Answer**(a)** The problem lies in the medium and surroundings, not in language, attitude or customs.
5. Two students argue and then refuse to listen to each other's ideas in the group project. The barrier is (a) physical (b) linguistic (c) interpersonal (d) organisational Answer**(c)** It comes from the relationship and attitude between the people. Nothing is wrong with the language or the channel.
6. Kabir writes a 500-word message just to say the meeting has moved to 4 PM. Which of the 7Cs has he broken? (a) courteous (b) concise (c) correct (d) concrete Answer**(b)** Concise means using only the words needed. The message may still be correct and polite.
7. Which of these is NOT one of the 7Cs of effective communication? (a) clear (b) complete (c) complicated (d) coherent Answer**(c)** The seven are clear, concise, concrete, correct, coherent, complete and courteous. Complicated is the opposite of the aim.
8. A road sign showing a person walking on stripes is an example of (a) verbal communication (b) visual communication (c) written communication (d) oral communication Answer**(b)** It sends the message through a picture. Gestures and posture would be non-verbal; a sign is visual.
9. Which feedback is the most useful to a classmate who presented? (a) "It was fine." (b) "Good job." (c) "Your chart on slide 3 made the trend clear; speak a little slower at the start." (d) "I did not like it." Answer**(c)** Good feedback is specific and points to what to keep and what to change. The rest are too general to act on.

### Self-Management Skills-II

1. In the ABC model used for managing stress, B stands for (a) behaviour (b) beliefs (c) balance (d) breathing Answer**(b)** Adversity, Beliefs, Consequences: what we believe about a setback shapes how stressed we feel.
2. Which is a healthy way to manage stress before the board exam? (a) cutting sleep to study more (b) regular exercise, yoga or a walk (c) avoiding all friends (d) more cups of tea at midnight Answer**(b)** Physical activity, rest and talking to people lower stress. The others raise it.
3. Self-awareness mainly means (a) knowing your strengths and weaknesses (b) caring what others think (c) being shy (d) memorising facts about yourself Answer**(a)** It is an honest view of what you are good at and where you need help, the starting point for any plan.
4. Riya practises sketching every evening because she enjoys it, with no prize in sight. Her motivation is (a) external (b) internal (c) forced (d) financial Answer**(b)** It comes from inside, from interest and enjoyment. A reward or praise would make it external.
5. Aman studies only because his parents promised him a new bicycle for good marks. This is (a) internal motivation (b) external motivation (c) self-awareness (d) stress Answer**(b)** The push comes from an outside reward. Both kinds work; the paper asks you to name which one is shown.
6. Which goal is written the SMART way? (a) "I will do better in AI." (b) "I will finish Unit 3 notes and 20 MCQs by Sunday 6 PM." (c) "I will become the topper." (d) "I will study a lot." Answer**(b)** It is specific, can be counted, is realistic, fits the exam and has a deadline. The others are wishes.
7. In a SMART goal, the letter T stands for (a) tough (b) time-bound (c) targeted (d) tested Answer**(b)** The goal needs a deadline. "Targeted" sounds right but is not the word used.
8. In time management, deciding which task matters most and doing it first is called (a) organising (b) prioritising (c) tracking (d) delegating Answer**(b)** Organising lists the tasks; prioritising puts them in order of importance; tracking checks progress afterwards.
9. Setting your own goals and managing your own time, without being told, is part of (a) self-regulation (b) stress (c) external motivation (d) a communication barrier Answer**(a)** Self-regulation is controlling your own actions to reach a goal, and goal setting with time management is how it is done.

Q4. Unit 5 of Part A

## Green skills class 10 MCQ, including the SDG questions

Q5. Where do Part A objective marks go?

## Employability skills MCQ slips we see most, and the fix for each

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](/cbse-class-10-ai-assertion-reason-questions). Printable Part A sheets sit on [CBSE Class 10 AI worksheets](/cbse-class-10-ai-worksheets).

Q6. How is Part A drilled in class?

## How our live batch keeps the ten Part A marks safe

Part A gets short, regular slots rather than one long chapter, because its terms are easy to forget by February.

### Ten-minute closers

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.

### Mixed recall on Wednesdays

Wednesday opens with a few items from all five units, so November's learning still holds in January.

### Part A inside every mock

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](/cbse-class-10-ai-sample-paper-and-mock-tests), and a last-week sweep of Part A is part of [Class 10 AI one shot revision](/cbse-class-10-ai-one-shot-revision).

Batch or personalised: you choose

## Practise Part A MCQs in the Monday and Wednesday batch, or one to one

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

### Group batch, Monday and Wednesday 9 PM

₹1,499

per month, two live classes a week

- Monday and Wednesday, 9:00 PM IST, live on video
- Fifteen to twenty Class 10 AI students, one teacher
- A Part A set to close each revision block
- Mixed recall across all five units
- Part A objective items in every full mock

Book a free demo in this batch

Option 2 · Choose your own timing

### Personalised one to one

₹4,999

per month, one private class a week, at a time set with you

- Days and time chosen by your family
- Sets built from the units your child gets wrong
- Confusable pairs repeated until they stick
- Two-mark answers checked line by line
- Same CBSE 417 syllabus and teachers

Ask for a personalised plan

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?

## Employability skills MCQ practice for CBSE schools in the Gulf and abroad

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](/cbse-class-10-ai-online-classes-gulf-and-abroad).

Questions about Part A MCQs

## What students ask about employability skills class 10 MCQs

### Where can I get employability skills class 10 MCQ with answers?

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.

### How many marks is employability skills in class 10 AI?

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.

### Is there negative marking in employability skills MCQs?

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.

### Are employability skills MCQs the same for AI 417 and IT 402?

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.

### What are the most asked communication skills class 10 MCQ topics?

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.

### What is asked in self management skills MCQ for class 10?
