MP Board Class 12 Sanskrit Syllabus 2027 is designed to assess students on Sanskrit grammar, reading, writing, textual comprehension, literature, translation-oriented understanding, and writing skills. It focuses on understanding simple prose and shlokas through reading and comprehension, strengthening writing skills with paragraph and essay composition, and improving grammatical accuracy through exercises on Sandhi, Vibhakti, and Dhatu.

MP Board Class 12 Sanskrit Syllabus 2027 includes four main sections: अपठित पाठांश focuses on understanding simple prose and shlokas; विषय आधारित लेखन) covers paragraph and essay writing to develop clear expression; संधि, विभक्ति, धातु emphasizes grammar exercises to improve accuracy; गद्य/पद्य भाग includes the study of prescribed Sanskrit prose and poetry. Students should practise unseen passages, letter/application writing and paragraph/story writing. Memorisation-based areas such as Subhashita Shlokas and Kavi Parichay should be revised regularly.
