“About five of the numerical-based questions were from Physical Chemistry and the remaining from inorganic and inorganic Chemistry.

Overall coverage of the chapters was uniform,” explained Ajay Sharma, National Academic Director, Engineering, AakashBYJU’S.

This year, Physics has been rated to be the easiest section by students. Candidates believe that students who solved a lot of mock tests will be able to score much better in this section. According to experts, there were five to six questions from electricity and magnetics, some questions were also from mechanics, units and dimensions, Optics, Waves and Sound, and Modern physics. The majority of chapters were covered in this exam, and in uniform proportions. “There were a good number of numerical which were largely formula based,” said Sharma.
