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.
Every input, explained
This reference is generated from the live tool definition, field by field.
Pick the education board (CBSE, CIE, state boards…). Every dropdown after this cascades from it, and the generated output follows that board’s syllabus wording. Required.
The class the material is for — sets age-appropriate depth and vocabulary. Required.
Subject list is scoped to the board and class you picked above. Required.
Optionally narrow the output to one chapter or topic from the canonical syllabus. Leave empty to let the AI stay at subject level. Optional.
e.g. e.g. Nationalism in India Required.
Default: 3. Optional.
Choices: Concise — quick and tight · Standard · Detailed — extra depth & examples. Default: Standard. Optional.
Choices: Yes — AI adds diagrams & images where helpful · No — text only. Default: Yes. Optional.
Additional customization (optional)
e.g. Anything else the AI should keep in mind — tone, format, constraints, examples… Optional.
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.
Not sure what to type? Click **Show example** in the form header — it fills every field with a real worked example (CBSE · Class 10 · Social Science) and shows a pre-generated result without spending any AI credits. Undo restores your draft.
The runner also gives you a ✨ prompt assistant and voice input on text fields, file upload to pull in your own notes, and — where your board publishes one — an official-format proof panel.
Your questions & where to send them
This tool returns structured question cards (not just text) — each question renders with its options, answer and solution, and you can review or deselect individual questions before routing them anywhere.
Saves the selected questions into your library so they show up in every picker.
Builds a print-ready paper from the questions and opens it on the canvas.
Creates a ready-to-schedule online exam pre-loaded with these questions.
One click: saves the questions, builds a paper and creates an OMR exam with printable bubble sheets.
Send to → Offline (Answer Sheet)
Same one-click chain, but creates an offline answer-sheet exam for scan-and-grade workflows.
Attaches the questions to an LMS course as a graded exam activity — see Add to Course.
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.
