Class 10 board year

Second hand Class 10 books online

A student's guide to buying Class 10 books second hand

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.

Check the chapter list before you order

Board syllabuses are rationalised from time to time, with chapters removed or reordered. A set from two or three years back can be a genuinely different book from the one your school is teaching.

The check takes a minute. Every listing records the class, the board and the edition, and the photographs include the contents page. Compare that against the chapter list your school circulated, and if they match, the copy is fine regardless of how worn it looks.

Buy the set together, not book by book

Delivery is billed in slabs of ₹100 for every five books, so a nine-book Class 10 set ordered in one cart costs ₹200 to deliver, while the same nine books ordered separately across a month can cost five times that.

Buying together also avoids the common frustration of assembling eight of nine subjects and finding the ninth has sold. If a subject is missing today, listings refresh through the weeks after board results, when families clear last year's set.

Reselling your Class 10 books

The strongest listing window is the gap between results and the start of the new academic year, when the batch below is buying. A complete set with the board and class in the title sells faster than single books.

Prices are suggested for you at around 25% of MRP when you list, and proceeds credit to your wallet, withdrawable to any UPI ID in multiples of ₹100.

Questions students ask

Can I buy a complete Class 10 set in one order?

Yes. Add each subject to the cart and delivery is billed in slabs of ₹100 per 5 books, so a full set ships far cheaper than ordering subject by subject.

How do I check the edition matches this year's syllabus?

Every listing records the class, board and edition, and the photos show the contents page. Compare that against the chapter list your school circulated before ordering.
