Some experts also pointed out that a question did not have correct answers in the options. “Chemistry is generally of moderate difficulty and this year was similar to last year’s paper. Most questions were conceptual and application based. Students strong in both factors would not find it too lengthy either. It was also observed in Set R, question no. 87 (Chemistry) doesn’t have any correct option,” said Rajshekhar Ratrey, VP Educational Content, Toppr.com.

As per BASE institute, around 31 per cent of total questions in chemistry was from physical chemistry, 33 per cent from inorganic chemistry and highest percentage of 35 per cent was from organic chemistry. ” The paper comprises of around 35.5 per cent questions from 1st year and 64.5 per cent questions from 2nd year,” said Prof Vincent John.

Ratrey further added that physics paper was of moderate difficulty level and was loaded with a lot of calculation-based questions. Compared to last year though, the paper was slightly tougher and lengthier.

Biology is generally deemed to be moderately difficult and this year was no different. Compared to last year though, the paper was slightly tougher. Most question were conceptual, so those with strong concepts would find it solvable in time.

As per experts, about 60-70 per cent of the questions were based on concepts given in NCERT. Close to 7 per cent questions were tough.

“Overall, questions involved different level of skills – some being knowledge based and some being analytical type. Questions in Physics were very demanding in terms of being multi-conceptual, hence time consuming. Questions based upon diagram, however, were less in number this time,” said Chaudhry.
