How to Generate MCQ Questions from Any PDF Textbook Using AI

By ThePrepLab · May 11, 20265 min read

Every teacher has a set of standard textbooks they rely on — NCERT, HC Verma, RD Sharma, M.S. Chauhan. The challenge is transforming the dense content in these books into practice-ready MCQs quickly. AI makes this possible for any PDF textbook.

PrepLab can extract content from any textbook PDF and generate MCQs based on it.

Two Ways to Generate MCQs from a PDF Textbook

1

Direct Extraction (if the PDF has existing questions)

Upload the PDF to PrepLab's Document portal. The AI extracts any existing exercises, chapter-end questions, and MCQs from the book directly.

2

Content-Based Generation (from text content)

Upload the chapter content. PrepLab's AI reads the explanation text and generates MCQs that test understanding of the concepts explained in that chapter.
