Seema Behl, Principal, Brain International School said, "Two questions in the paper can have the same options- in question number 21, both the options A and C seem correct, same with question number 43, options A and D were identical. Overall the paper was standard, case studies required a good understanding of language.”

Taking about the ambiguity in the number of questions to be attempted, she said, “Also in Section C, the instructions were a bit contradictory, while in the section, it was written 8 out of 10 attempts, but in the question on case study, the candidates asked to attempt 4 out of 5."

Ganesh, a teacher from JAIN International Residential School, (JIRS), Bengaluru, said, "Section A tested the knowledge and understanding of the students, where few questions required a little calculations. Section B was tricky and students require in-depth understanding of the concepts to answer the questions. The questions from Linear Programming are time consuming."

"Section C tested the application skills of the students. This section seems difficult for an average student to score. All questions in this section demand extensive calculations, whereas the time allotted for each question is not sufficient enough. The notation used in the question number 42 is not there in the NCERT Text book due to which students didn't understand the question. Overall the question paper appears to be tricky, difficult and time consuming, " Ganesh added.
