JKBOSE Class 10 IT/ITeS (Vocational) Important Questions 2026–27
This exam-oriented revision post is based on the supplied previous-year IT/ITeS (Vocational) question-paper analysis. It covers Employability Skills and Vocational Skills and follows the same detailed handwritten-notes style used for the recent UniversityScope Class 10 subject posts.
Section A: Employability Skills
1. Hardware and Software
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that can be seen and touched. Examples include keyboard, mouse, monitor, CPU and printer.
Software refers to the programs or instructions that tell computer hardware what to do. Examples include an operating system, word processor and spreadsheet application.
In short: Hardware is the physical part of a computer, while software is the set of programs/instructions used by the computer.
2. Operating System
An Operating System (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and provides a platform for running application programs.
Main functions:
- Manages hardware resources.
- Provides a user interface.
- Manages files and folders.
- Controls running programs and processes.
- Helps manage input and output devices.
Examples: Windows, Linux and macOS.
3. Sustainable Development: Problems and Challenges
Sustainable development aims to meet present needs while considering the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Major challenges include environmental degradation, pollution, excessive resource consumption, climate-related concerns, poverty and unequal access to resources.
A sustainable approach requires responsible use of natural resources, reduction of pollution, efficient use of energy and cooperation between individuals, communities and institutions.
4. Main Methods of Communication
- Verbal communication: Uses spoken or written words to convey information.
- Non-verbal communication: Uses body language, facial expressions, gestures, posture and other signals.
- Visual communication: Uses images, symbols, charts, signs or other visual elements.
Effective communication often uses more than one method depending on the situation.
5. Qualities of a Successful Entrepreneur
Important qualities include initiative, creativity, confidence, willingness to take calculated risks, problem-solving ability, decision-making, persistence, communication skills and the ability to identify opportunities.
6. Stress Management
Stress management means using suitable methods to control or reduce the harmful effects of stress.
Two techniques:
- Time management: Plan tasks, set priorities and divide large work into manageable activities.
- Relaxation and healthy routine: Use relaxation practices, adequate rest and physical activity to maintain balance.
7. Importance of Feedback
Feedback tells the sender how the message has been understood or received. It helps identify misunderstanding, improve communication and make the communication process more effective. Constructive feedback can also help a person improve future performance.
8. Objective Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Words for clear verbal communication? | Simple |
| Shortcut to save a document? | Ctrl + S |
| Upright/straight body posture conveys? | Confidence |
| Number of UN Sustainable Development Goals? | 17 |
Section B: Vocational Skills
9. Database Objects: Query, Report and Form
Query: A database request used to retrieve particular information or records from a database.
Report: A formatted presentation of selected database information, generally prepared for viewing, printing or sharing.
Form: A user-friendly interface used to enter, view or edit database records.
10. DBMS Fundamentals and Advantages
DBMS (Database Management System) is software used to create, store, organize, retrieve and manage data in databases.
Advantages over traditional file processing:
- Organized and structured data management.
- Efficient searching and retrieval of information.
- Reduced unnecessary duplication of data.
- Better control over access to data.
- Easier maintenance and updating of records.
11. Template in Word Processing
A Template is a pre-designed document format that can be reused to create documents with a consistent structure and appearance.
It saves time because users do not need to create the same layout, formatting and common elements from the beginning each time.
12. Data Consolidation in Spreadsheets
Data Consolidation means combining data from multiple ranges or sources into a summarized result. It is useful when information is stored in different tables or sheets and needs to be analyzed together.
13. Common Causes of Slips and Falls
- Wet or slippery floors.
- Objects or cables left in walkways.
- Uneven surfaces.
- Poor lighting or visibility.
- Improperly maintained work areas.
Keeping walkways clear, cleaning spills promptly and maintaining safe working conditions can reduce such risks.
14. SQL and Its Types
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language used to work with data in relational databases.
DDL (Data Definition Language): Used for defining or changing database structures, such as tables.
DML (Data Manipulation Language): Used for manipulating data, such as inserting, updating or deleting records.
15. Data Types in DBMS
Data types specify the kind of value that a database field can store.
- Numeric: Integer/number values.
- Text: Character or string values.
The exact names of supported data types can vary by database software.
16. Images in a Word Document
Deleting an image: Select the image and press the Delete/Backspace key, as appropriate for the document editor.
Two common image types: The supplied source identifies this as a question but does not specify the expected two categories. Therefore, the exact textbook answer should be checked against the prescribed software/module rather than guessed.
17. Style in Document Processing
A Style is a predefined collection of formatting settings such as font, size, spacing and alignment that can be applied consistently to document text or other elements.
18. Hyperlink and Goal Seek
Hyperlink: A clickable link that takes the user to another location, such as a webpage, file, email address or another location in a document.
Goal Seek: A spreadsheet analysis feature used to determine the input value required to achieve a specified target result in a formula.
19. Accident and Immediate Steps at Work
An accident is an unexpected event that can cause injury, damage or loss.
When an accident occurs:
- Ensure immediate safety and prevent further danger.
- Inform the responsible person/supervisor.
- Provide or arrange appropriate first aid.
- Contact emergency services when necessary.
- Report and document the incident according to workplace procedure.
20. Macro
A Macro is a recorded or programmed sequence of commands/actions that can be run to automate repetitive tasks in applications such as spreadsheets or word processors.
