Expert Opinion & Student Feedback
Expert Opinion
The paper was well-balanced with a mix of conceptual, application-based, and competency-based questions. While Biology and Physics sections had some tricky numerical and diagram-based questions. Chemistry questions were mostly direct and NCERT-based. Case-based questions tested the ability to apply concepts to real-life scenarios.
Student Feedback
Students rated the paper as moderate, with some questions requiring deeper thinking. Section A (MCQs) was scoring if prepared from sample papers. Most felt that the numericals in physics (esp. electricity and magnetic effects) were tricky for some. Many said the biology diagrams and definitions helped score well.
