ISC 2026 Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing Question Paper for Class 12

About this paper

This is the ISC Class 12 Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing paper (code 869) from the 2026 board examination. It carries 80 marks and runs for three hours plus fifteen minutes of reading time. Dimensions are in millimetres, and arcs under 4 mm radius may be drawn freehand. Section A is compulsory: front, top and side views of a machine block in first or third angle projection, with the projection symbol. Candidates then attempt either Section B, the assembly of a tool post with a ring, a wedge and a screw, or Section C, an isometric copy, a sectional view and the projections of a hexagonal-base prism of axis height 60 mm inclined at 30° to the horizontal plane.

• First and third angle projection
• Sectional views
• Machine-block drawing
• Assembly drawing
• Tool post
• Parts list
• Isometric drawing
• Projection of solids
• Hexagonal prism

Questions from this paper

1. Draw the front view, top view and side view of the given machine block by the first or third angle method, and draw the symbol of the method you have chosen.
2. The tool post clamps a tool by a ring, a wedge and a screw. Draw a full-size sectional elevation along A–B of the assembled components.
3. Draw the plan and the left-hand side view of the tool-post assembly, omitting all hidden details, and make a neat parts list.
4. Copy the isometric view of the given machine block.
5. Draw the sectional front view along A–B and the top view of the given machine block, using the first or third angle method.
6. A hexagonal-base prism of axis height 60 mm is given in first-angle projection. Draw the front view and top view when the axis is inclined at 30° to the horizontal plane, omitting hidden details.
