1. What are SSLC and PUC Passing Packages?
- Context: SSLC (Class 10) and PUC (Class 11 & 12) are major public examinations, particularly in states like Karnataka, India.
- Purpose: “Passing Packages” are typically study materials, often in PDF format, designed specifically to help students, especially those considered “below average” or “slow learners,” concentrate on the most crucial topics and question types to achieve minimum passing marks.

- Content: They are prepared by subject experts and often include:
- Targeted questions and answers.
- Simplified notes or guides for key concepts.
- Content based on previous exam papers, model question papers, and official guidelines.
- The material is often categorized by subject (Maths, Science, Social Science, Languages, etc.) and sometimes by medium (Kannada Medium, English Medium, etc.).
2. Information on Downloading the Packages
- Availability: These packages are widely circulated online and are often provided for free by educational websites, coaching centers, and individual teachers, especially through blog posts, YouTube channels, and Telegram groups.
- Source Format: The packages are generally available as PDF files.
3. Offering Downloads on a WordPress Website
If you have a WordPress website and wish to offer SSLC/PUC passing packages for download (assuming you have the right to distribute the materials):
A. Simplest Method (Direct Download Link)
- Upload the File: In your WordPress dashboard, go to Media > Add New and upload the PDF file.
- Get the URL: After uploading, click on the file and copy its unique File URL.
- Create a Link: On any post or page, create a text or image link and use the copied File URL as the destination.
B. Using the “File Block” in the Gutenberg Editor
- In the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg), add a new File block.
- Upload your PDF or select it from the Media Library.
- The block will automatically create a file name link and an accompanying Download button.
C. Using a Download Manager Plugin (For better management and tracking)
For a more professional setup, especially if you have many files or want to track downloads, use a WordPress plugin:
- Plugins like: Download Monitor, Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) (for selling or managing free digital products), or similar file management plugins.
- Benefits: These plugins allow you.
- To track the number of downloads.
- To organize files in a structured library.
- To restrict access (e.g., require email sign-up or payment).
- To use shortcodes for easily displaying download buttons on any page.
D. Using an LMS Plugin (If you are building a full course site)
If you plan to structure the packages as part of a free or premium online course, a Learning Management System (LMS) plugin might be better:
- Plugins like: LearnPress or Sensei LMS.
- Functionality: You can offer the passing packages as part of a “course material” that a student enrolls in.
