The level of difficultly as per feedback from students on 26th June ,2022 (Forenoon Session):
Mathematics – Moderately Tough level. Questions were asked from all chapters with emphasis on Chapters of Conic Sections & Calculus. Questions asked from Chapters like Matrices, 3 D Geometry, Mathematical Reasoning, Functions, Limits, Area under Curves, Definite Integrals, Parabola, Ellipse & Circle. Numerical Section had lengthy calculations. Few questions were reported as Tricky.
Physics – Easy level. Questions asked from Electrostatics, Magnetism, Current Electricity & Modern Physics, Rotational Motion, Kinematics, Heat & Thermodynamics. Numerical based questions were easy. Few fact-based questions from class XII chapters of NCERT were also asked.
Chemistry – Moderate level. Physical Chemistry was given more weightage compared to Inorganic & Organic Chemistry. Numerical Based questions were mostly from Physical Chemistry. Questions asked from Chemistry in Everyday Life, Mole Concept, s – block & p- block, Coordination Chemistry.
In terms of order of Difficulty – Mathematics was Moderately Tough while Physics was Easy amongst the three subjects. Overall, this paper was of Moderate level as per students.
