For instance, students of St Xavier's High School, Sector 71 , Mohali found the paper to be well-structured, and felt it maintained a balanced mix of theory, numerical, and application-based questions.
A student named Agamveer from the school said, “The overall difficulty level of the paper was similar to previous years. I found some questions very easy, but there were some questions that were slightly critical in nature."
