CBSE Class 10, 12 Exam 2026 Live: What PGT says about Class 12 paper?

CBSE Class 10, 12 Exam 2026 Live: Manoj Sharma, PGT Physical Education, Manav Rachna International School, Charmwood, Faridabad shares his review:

Overall Nature of the Paper

The overall question paper was mostly direct and syllabus-based. Many questions were straightforward and could be answered easily by students who had studied the textbook thoroughly. Definitions, differences, and short explanatory questions were asked directly from the prescribed syllabus.

Case Study Questions

The case study questions were slightly tricky. Although they were based on familiar topics, students had to carefully read and understand the given situation before answering. These questions tested application skills rather than simple memorization. Students who had strong conceptual clarity were able to answer them correctly.

Smartly Framed Questions

Some questions were smartly framed by the board. They appeared simple at first glance but required careful interpretation. If a student did not read the question properly, they could misunderstand what was being asked. This required attentiveness and proper comprehension skills.

Questions Requiring Deep Thinking

In certain questions, students needed to think deeply and apply their knowledge. Instead of writing memorized answers, they had to connect concepts and explain logically. These questions checked analytical ability and understanding of real-life application in sports and physical education.
