What a Class 10 set costs new, and why families resell
A Class 10 set is rarely fewer than nine books: NCERT or board textbooks for Mathematics, Science, Social Science and the languages, a reference guide for at least the two hardest subjects, and a stack of sample-paper compilations bought in the last quarter before the boards. Assembled new, it is one of the larger single-month education expenses a household faces.
The books are then finished with in ten months. Nobody re-reads a Class 10 Science textbook, which is why the resale market for this class is the deepest on the platform — and why buying used here saves more than in any other year.
- Board or NCERT textbooks for Mathematics, Science, Social Science, English and the second language.
- Reference guides — usually Mathematics and Science, occasionally Social Science.
- Sample-paper and previous-year question compilations for board practice.
- School-prescribed private-publisher books for English literature or IT.
