3. Relative subject difficulty and overall paper difficulty — our analysis
As can be seen below, the difficulties are normally distributed. Around 10 questions are very easy, 65 are of medium difficulties and 15 can be considered hard questions.
As can be seen below, around 60% of questions can be solved in minute time. That said, its very important to hunt these questions and solve it in first look only.
PHYSICS — Some questions are repeated as it is from previous year’s papers. Paper has few questions with more than one answers & improper language which may confuse students. Overall paper was easy as compared to previous year papers.
CHEMISTRY — Physical & Inorganic parts were quite similar to the previous year paper. Organic part was difficult due to fact based questions. All the topics are as per the NCERT syllabus. The questions of environmental chemistry require standard data of water pollution. Overall Chemistry paper is low scoring as compared to previous year papers. Also, careless mistakes are more likely in Chemistry this year as always. As expected Chemistry has lowest number of overtime questions percentage.
MATHEMATICS In comparison to the previous year paper — Mathematics paper was below average. Though some of the questions were very lengthy and tough. One of the questions from Binomial theorem was fundamentally incorrect. Even though Mathematics is top scoring subject, the ratio of overtime questions is pretty high compared to other subjects indicating lengthy questions.
Equal weightage was given to XI & XII Part.
