Jashandeep Kaur from Sangrur said, “The exam was well balanced. We had enough time to attempt all the questions.” Sukhjot from Kharar said the exam wasn’t made easier to make up for the delay, but it went better for him than the previous session. Shubash from Mohali said maths was scoring this time, with emphasis on matrices and determinants.

Jasraj Singh from Chandigarh however found the paper lengthy and said he wasn’t able to finish on time with lots of calculations.
