Sonam Singh, a student of Ram Krishna Memorial Senior Secondary School, Tajpur Road, said that the paper was easy to solve. She said that out of four diagram-based questions, one was slightly tricky. The multiple-choice questions were simple, and some questions were even repeated from previous years’ exams. She expects to score around 70 out of 80 marks. Another student, Srishti, admitted that only a few questions from the chapter on Light were difficult, but the rest of the exam was straightforward and manageable.

Suman, a science teacher at Government Senior Secondary School, Dhanansu, acknowledged that a few students might have struggled with the diagram-based questions, but overall, the exam was similar in difficulty to previous years.
