Physics Analysis

Few Questions were formula based.
Proper selection of questions proved beneficial to students as some calculations were Lengthy.
Distribution of conceptually easy questions was uniform.
Not many questions were asked from conceptually difficult areas.
Some topics like Ray optics and Fluids could be ignored.
Questions were designed to look tough with right approach. All questions were solvable or could be qualitatively analyzed.

Chemistry Analysis

Chemistry paper slightly difficult than last year.
Physical chemistry (Ionic Equilibrium, Stoichiometry, Electrochemistry) questions are slightly tricky & lengthy some questions involve more calculations.
In Inorganic chemistry, questions from coordination compounds were tough. In general, Inorganic questions were of medium level.
In organic chemistry, questions from Ethers & Alcohols were tricky. Most questions were from oxygen containing compounds.
Overall chemistry paper is balanced but difficult to score or less scoring for Average candidate.

Mathematics Analysis

Level in Synchronization with Mains but lengthier than last year.
Questions from sequence and series (2 questions) and 3-D were lengthy.
All questions were conventional. Students who have reasonable training and practice would have done better.
Majority of questions were very specific to the topic only a couple of questions were of mixed topic.
Some questions were lengthy resulting more time consumption while solving.
To score full marks may be difficult from point of view of lengthiness, but level wise it is scoring.
