Madhusmita Bhrama, a Class 12 medical student, said, “The paper was okay and as expected. I had studied the previous- year question papers and sample papers which helped me a lot. Some students could have found the paper lengthy as some questions were time- consuming.”

Vinita Dogra, a Class 12 non-medical student, said, “The exam was more comfortable to attempt than that of physics. I can easily score more than 60 marks out of 70 as the paper was predictable. Most of the questions were repeated. However, not all questions were easy. I found the short answer questions tricky.”

Priyanka Varshan, a teacher at the Government Senior Secondary School, Sector 26, said, “The exam was easy in comparison to other subjects. The paper was based on the NCERT textbook. I think students can easily score well in the subject.”

There were no misprints in the paper, much to the relief of students.
