For another teacher, Rakesh Kumar PGT Chemistry, MRIS Charmwood, Faridabad, the exam was similar to the CBSE sample papers and no questions were out of syllabus.
According to Kumar, most of the questions were directly from NCERT and numericals were easy to attempt. About 10% questions were tricky and required critical thinking. Multiple choice questions and Assertion/Reasons questions were notably challenging and required conceptual understanding. Overall, the exam exhibited a diverse difficulty range, encompassing both straight forward and moderately challenging aspects.
Paper was well balanced and contained a lot of content for scoring passing marks. However, it was a bit problematic for students who aim for perfect score, Kumar added. Students who appeared for the CBSE Class 12 Chemistry exam need to score minimum of 33% marks to pass the exam.
