Deepika Gupta, a History teacher from Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Lucknow, described the Class 10 social science question paper 2022 as a balanced question paper. "As a subject, Social Science is feared by many students. The class X Board Exam of Social Science was, however, a balanced question paper, much to everyone’s relief," she said.

Gupta said that most questions from the first three sections of the CBSE 10th social science paper were taken directly from the textbooks. In her opinion, a thorough reading of the NCERT textbook could fetch the students good marks in this exam, but certain questions, especially from history and economics were challenging as they required students to think and apply their minds. "The paper also had application and case-based questions that prioritise and reward the understanding of the themes rather than memorizing the content. Even the map work was easy and it was an opportunity for the students to score well," she said.
