WELCOME TO SMART LEARNING SERVICE.

Dear student friends, you are all aware that since the year 2023, SEBA Board examination pattern has changed. Here all subjects (except MIL & Elective) will contain 50% marks as MCQs. This is an initiative which is taken from the Smart Learning Service to avail chapter wise MCQs from subjects like Social Sciences, General Sciences, Mathematics and English which are free for you. In this section you will get probale MCQs and short questions along with answers from the chapter 2 of Geography: Environment & Environmental problems under the subject Social Science. All of you are requested to try this and it is obvious that it may contain typing or setting mistakes. If any such anomalies found, may requested to send comments/messages in the comment section for rectification.
