Though it doesn't offer much choice yet it wasn't a hard nut to crack. Just like the sample papers issued by CBSE, this paper too was drawn on the same lines. Both discursive and factual passages catered to students interest and were good enough to evaluate the language competency of students. Writing section comprised of lots of options and clues to ensure that students doesn't face paucity of ideas. Literature section appeared to be celebrating and acknowledging the work of women writers like Anees Jung, Kamla Das, Adrienne Rich, Bama, Zitkala Sa, etc. All in all it was a wonderful start to this year Exam festival!".

According to the students and the faculty members, the paper is direct and reasonably easy. A thorough textual knowledge would be sufficient to tackle the questions on literature. In fact, some of the MCQs, such as the one on my mother at sixty-six, had rather obvious distractors making the question extremely easy. The MCQ on The Third Level, q8, number 3, had some ambiguity in the phrasing. However, overall the paper caters to students of diverse skills sets and abilities, said Sreemoyee Banerjee, HOD English, Shiv Nadar School Gurugram.
