Gujranwala Board 9th Class Pak Studies Past Papers – BISE Gujranwala
This page collects the Gujranwala Board 9th class Pakistan Studies (Compulsory) past papers for the last three years (2022 to 2024). Each year includes the Group I and Group II subjective papers as PDF files. Every paper is printed bilingually, with the English and Urdu versions on the same sheet.
Pakistan Studies is a compulsory subject for every Matric Part 1 student, and it is one of the easiest subjects to score well in if you prepare in an organised way. Solving previous papers shows you which topics the board asks again and again, such as the ideology of Pakistan, the Pakistan Movement, the role of Quaid-e-Azam, the geography of Pakistan and the environment.
What is in the Pakistan Studies paper?
The subjective paper is worth 40 marks and is given 1 hour 45 minutes. In the recent papers the structure is:
- Section I (short questions): two questions, each with nine parts, and you answer any six parts of each. They ask for names, dates, causes, definitions and short explanations from topics such as ideology, the Pakistan Movement, the history of Pakistan, the geography and climate of Pakistan, forests and the environment, women's rights and terrorism.
- Section II (long questions): three questions worth eight marks each, and you attempt any two. Typical questions ask you to explain the Ideology of Pakistan or the Two Nation Theory, discuss the role of Quaid-e-Azam or the Objectives Resolution, or write notes on topics such as the location of Pakistan, forests, canals or wildlife.
The exact topics, wording and marks can change from year to year, so always check the paper itself for the details.
Old Course and New Course papers
The Group II files for 2022 and 2023 contain more than one sheet: the New Course subjective paper together with the Old Course objective and subjective papers. If you are preparing from the current textbook, solve the New Course sheet first and use the Old Course sheets as extra practice for topics that are still in your syllabus. The cards for these two papers are marked "New + Old Course".
How to prepare using these papers
- Learn the key dates, names and places from each chapter, because many short questions ask for exactly these.
- Prepare the long-question topics in a clear order, with an introduction, the main points and a short conclusion.
- Make a timeline of the Pakistan Movement, from the Two Nation Theory to the Objectives Resolution and the constitutions.
- Attempt a full paper in the real time limit, then check your answers against the textbook.
- Revise the geography topics, such as the location, climate, rivers, canals and forests, with a simple map.
- Compare Group I and Group II papers to see which topics repeat.
Group I and Group II papers
Papers for Group I and Group II are listed separately for each year, so you can open the one that matches your group. The two papers usually cover the same chapters but ask different questions, so solving both gives you twice as much practice on the same syllabus.
