NIOS Certificate in Indian Embroidery 628 – Quick Subject Overview

What Are NIOS Class 10 Certificate in Indian Embroidery Important Questions for 2026?

Indian Embroidery is a subject that combines art, culture, history, and craft technique. Many students enjoy the practical side of this course but find themselves underprepared for the written exam.

This page gives you chapter-wise sample objective questions from all three modules of NIOS Certificate in Indian Embroidery 628. The questions here are selected for their exam frequency and importance. For the full booklet of NIOS Certificate in Indian Embroidery 628 Important Questions with complete answers and explanations for every chapter, contact Unnati Education and get your copy today.

Chapter-Wise Sample Objective Questions for NIOS Certificate in Indian Embroidery 628

Module 1 – Fundamentals of Embroidery and Design

Lesson 1 – Introduction to Embroidery: Important Objective Questions

This is where the subject begins and where the examiner also likes to begin. The origin of embroidery, its importance as a traditional Indian art form, the basic materials and tools used, and the cultural significance of embroidery in different regions of India are all tested here.

Sample Questions

• Q1. Embroidery is defined as: A. Printing patterns on fabric using machines B. The art of decorating fabric using needle and thread C. Weaving patterns into cloth during manufacturing D. Dyeing cloth with natural colours
  Answer B
• Q2. The basic tool used in all types of hand embroidery is: A. Knitting needle B. Crochet hook C. Embroidery needle D. Sewing machine needle
  Answer C
• Q3. Embroidery in India is closely associated with: A. Industrial textile production only B. Regional cultural traditions and handcraft heritage C. Foreign design influences exclusively D. Machine-made fabric patterns
  Answer B

Fill in the Blank: The art of decorating cloth with designs using needle and coloured thread is called __________.
Answer Embroidery

True or False: Embroidery can only be done on silk fabric.
Answer False

Many students assume nothing important comes from the introductory lesson and skip practising its questions. That is a costly mistake. Introduction questions set up conceptual definitions and the exam uses those exact definitions in MCQs with very similar-sounding wrong options.

Lesson 2 – Elements of Art: Important Objective Questions

The elements of art are the building blocks of any design and this lesson explains all of them. Line, shape, form, texture, space, and colour are the primary elements. Questions from this lesson test whether you know how each element functions in a design and how they interact with each other.

Students preparing for their written exam who also need their NIOS Class 10 TMA for Certificate in Indian Embroidery 628 accurately solved and ready to submit can get it from Unnati Education in both typed and handwritten format.

Sample Questions

• Q1. The most basic element of design that gives direction and movement to a composition is: A. Colour B. Texture C. Line D. Space
  Answer C
• Q2. The element of art that refers to the surface quality of a fabric or design — whether rough, smooth, or silky — is: A. Form B. Texture C. Line D. Shape
  Answer B
• Q3. Positive space in a design refers to: A. The empty area around the design B. The background of the composition C. The area occupied by the design itself D. The colour of the fabric
  Answer C

Fill in the Blank: The element of art that has length and width but no depth is called __________.
Answer Shape

True or False: Lines in embroidery design can only be straight.
Answer False

Positive space and negative space are tested every year in this lesson. Positive space is where the design sits. Negative space is the background or empty area around it. The exam uses this pair in true or false and MCQ questions regularly.

Lesson 3 – Principles of Design: Important Objective Questions

The principles of design explain how the elements of art are used together to create effective and beautiful compositions. Balance, rhythm, proportion, emphasis, harmony, and unity are all tested from this lesson.

Sample Questions

• Q1. The principle of design that ensures all parts of a composition feel equal in visual weight is: A. Rhythm B. Emphasis C. Balance D. Proportion
  Answer C
• Q2. Which principle of design refers to the size relationship between different parts of a composition? A. Unity B. Proportion C. Balance D. Rhythm
  Answer B
• Q3. The principle that creates a focal point by making one element stand out from the rest is called: A. Harmony B. Balance C. Rhythm D. Emphasis
  Answer D

Fill in the Blank: The principle of __________ is achieved when all elements of a design work together to create a sense of completeness.
Answer Unity

True or False: Rhythm in design is only created through colour.

Balance, proportion, and emphasis are three terms that the exam tests in combinations. Students sometimes confuse emphasis with contrast. Emphasis is specifically about creating a focal point. Keep that distinction clear and you will get these questions right.

Lesson 4 – Placement of Design: Important Objective Questions

This lesson explains where and how embroidery designs are placed on fabric. Border placement, central motif placement, all-over designs, and corner placement are all covered. The rules of good placement are tested as both MCQs and short answers.

  Answer C

Lesson 6 – Colour Schemes: Important Objective Questions

The difference between Phulkari and Bagh is a high-frequency question. The stitch names from Kasuti — Gavanti, Murgi, Negi, and Menthi — appear regularly.

Common Mistakes Students Make in Certificate in Indian Embroidery 628 Exam

Confusing primary, secondary, and tertiary colour definitions is one of the most common errors in Module 2. Mixing up the state of origin for Kasuti and Kantha — Karnataka and West Bengal respectively — costs marks every year. Getting the difference between Phulkari and Bagh wrong in true or false questions is very frequent. Thinking that Zardozi only involves simple stitching and missing its metallic thread characteristic is a conceptual gap many students carry into the exam. Getting the stitch names for Kasuti wrong, especially Menthi and Murgi, is another area where preparation makes a clear difference. Not preparing the design principles lesson from Module 1 because it seems theoretical results in easy objective marks being lost.
