The level of difficultly as per feedback from students on 24th June,2022 (Forenoon Session):

Mathematics – Moderate level. Questions were asked from chapters majorly from Calculus, Co-ordinate Geometry, Algebra, Vector & 3D Geometry. Few Numerical Based questions required lengthy calculations. Weightage was given to Calculus. & Vectors. Numerical Based Questions were reported lengthy by few students.

Physics – Easy to Moderate level. Questions asked from Kinematics, Optics, Electrostatics, Magnetism, Current Electricity, Communication Systems, Heat and Thermodynamics, Modern Physics. Few Numerical based questions had lengthy calculations but were easy. Few Theory Based questions from class XII chapters of NCERT were asked.

Chemistry – Easy level. Questions covered chapters like Mole Concept, Chemistry in Everyday Life, Chemical Bonding, Co-ordination compounds. Heat & Thermodynamics. Physical Chemistry mostly asked in Numerical based Questions. More Weightage given to Inorganic Chemistry amongst the rest and questions were NCERT Based.

In terms of order of Difficulty – Maths was Moderate level while Chemistry was easiest amongst the three subjects. Overall, this paper was Moderate level as per students.
