Case-Study / Source-Based Questions
Case/source passages with laddered sub-questions in the CBSE competency-question style.
What Case-Study / Source-Based Questions does
Builds case-study (source-based) questions: a short passage or scenario followed by a ladder of sub-questions that climb from reading-the-source to applying it. This is the CBSE competency-question format now weighted heavily in board papers, and it is exactly the skill students find hardest — pulling an answer out of unfamiliar material rather than reciting the chapter. Giving them regular practice on real-looking cases is the whole point.

How to use it
- Enter a Topic rich enough to support a scenario — a process, an event, or a data-driven situation gives the passage something to describe.
- Set the Number of case studies; each returns as a passage with its own set of laddered sub-questions.
- Generate, then read each passage to confirm every sub-question can be answered from the passage before you route the set.

The skill being tested is extracting answers from the source, so mark whether students quote the passage — a correct answer copied from memory instead of read off the case misses the competency this format is checking.
