Expert Opinion

According to commerce faculty, the paper was well-aligned with the prescribed CBSE syllabus and closely followed the NCERT textbook.

Meenu Chandhok, HOD Commerce at Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, noted that the exam was concept-driven, rather than memory-based. “The MCQs were a bit lengthy and calculation-heavy, especially the competency-based questions on the 'Issue of Shares'. However, the overall paper was of moderate difficulty and fair in its evaluation,” she said.

Saurabh Sardana, HOD Commerce at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, also found the paper thoughtfully framed. “Students appreciated the clarity and balance in question types. It wasn’t overly long, and the familiar pattern helped them remain confident throughout the exam. It was a well-structured paper that genuinely tested students’ understanding,” he remarked.
