The level of difficultly as per feedback from students on 28th June ,2022 (Forenoon Session)

Mathematics – Moderately Tough level. Questions were asked from all chapters with emphasis on Chapters of Algebra & Calculus. Questions asked from Matrices, 3 D Geometry, Vectors, Permutation & Combination, Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Functions, Limits, Application of Derivative, Definite Integrals, Differential Equations, Ellipse & Circle. Numerical Section had lengthy calculations. Few questions were reported as Tricky.

Physics – Easy to Moderate level. Questions asked from Electrostatics, Magnetism, Current Electricity & Modern Physics, EM Waves, Laws of Motion, Semiconductors, Rotational Motion, Kinematics, Heat & Thermodynamics. Numerical based questions were easy. Few fact-based questions from class XII chapters of NCERT were also asked.

Chemistry – Easy level. Inorganic Chemistry was given more weightage compared to Physical & Organic Chemistry. Numerical Based questions were mostly from Physical Chemistry. Questions asked from Amines, Electrochemistry, Colloids, Environmental Chemistry, Titration, 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 to Moderate while Chemistry was Easy. Overall, this paper was of Moderate level as per students.
