The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 chemistry paper conducted on February 27 appears to have been well-received by students, according to the initial review. Here are some key points to consider:

Balance and Simplicity: The paper is described as simple and well-balanced, which is positive feedback. This suggests that the questions were distributed evenly across difficulty levels.

Within Syllabus: It's reassuring that students did not encounter anything outside the syllabus. This indicates that the paper adhered to the prescribed curriculum, providing a fair assessment of the students' preparedness.

Analytical Ability: The inclusion of numerical questions to test analytical ability is commendable. It adds a dimension to the exam that assesses not just theoretical knowledge but also the application of concepts.

Time Management: Allocating 3 hours for a 70-mark paper seems reasonable, allowing students sufficient time to carefully attempt the questions.

Section-wise Distribution: The paper's division into five sections, each with a specified number of questions and marks, provides a structured format that aids both students and examiners.

Moderate Difficulty: The overall moderate difficulty level across all sections ensures that the exam is challenging enough to differentiate between students' understanding and application skills.

The English paper had a moderate degree of difficulty, as claimed by the students. It was composed of an equal number of application- and analysis-based problems. Overall, the English paper was easy to comprehend and concise. Both of the unseen passage portions in Section A were trivial and needed a little pondering. The inferential questions required considerable thought and might be easily misinterpreted. Analysis, deductive reasoning, and critical thinking were the foundations of the questions.

The grammar in Section B was easy, and the writing tasks in form of a letter to the editor and a complaint letter were both manageable. However, the analytical paragraphs were relevant to current issues. The WRITING section included familiar topics, and allowed students enough opportunity to express themselves.

Although the literature portion seemed simple, the inferential questions required considerable thought and might be easily misinterpreted. It was rather time consuming and safe to say that even if the literature component was rather straightforward, the students still needed to do an extensive analysis of it. There was a good mix of knowledge, quantitative, and application-based problems in the question paper.

We could therefore take the majority of reviews into consideration, which indicate that the CBSE Class 10 English Exam 2024 had a medium challenging level.

Expert view by Aashita Chauhan, TGT, KIIT World School , Gurugram.

Tarun Tiwari of LPS sector - D said, “The paper was standard but a bit time taking as all the questions were of logical reasoning specially of RTCs which required definitely basic knowledge about each topic. Writing section even was not very difficult.”

Harmeet Kaur, English co-ordinator said, “The question paper was aptly and profoundly designed keeping in view both the standard and the quality. It may be scoring if the students didn't lack the analytical comprehension of the demand of each segment; otherwise, the Grammar as well as the Reading Section both were based on moderate difficulty level. Innovative/ Creative approach can be well assessed specifically from the Long Questions that required deep meticulous insights into the concepts. The paper was too easy. It went smoothly but it was lengthy.The passage was not too much competency based ; it was all factual stuff.”

Saumya Mishra of LPS, Sector - I said, “As per the latest CBSE curriculum the competency based questions slightly showed their supremacy in the long answer type questions. The Unseen Passages were simple and to the point. The creative writing section was also not challenging. The level of questions was easy to medium. Questions required detailed answers which eventually made the paper lengthy but time management was the key.”

Kaneez Fatima, a student of Lucknow Public School, South City said, “The paper was too easy. It went smoothly but it was lengthy. The passage was not too much competency based, it was all factual stuff.” Tarun Tiwari, a student of LPS Sector - D said, “The paper was standard but a bit time taking as all the questions were of logical reasoning specially of RTCs which required definitely basic knowledge about each topic.Writing section even was not very difficult.”

Today's 10th English Exam provided a mixed bag of challenges and ease. In Section A, grappling with the unseen passages proved to be a mediocre experience, but the MCQs added a layer of complexity. Section B, however, offered a sigh of relief with straightforward grammar questions, alongside letter writing and analytical paragraphs, where a student can breezily articulate her/his thoughts. Moving on to Section C, the RTCs introduced a bit of difficulty, while the three markers seemed like a walk in the park. Overall, the exam provided a fair test of our skills and preparation.

The focus was on a thorough understanding of chapters rather than mere cramming, emphasizing the importance of a deeper comprehension for scoring well. The Literature Section served as a testament to students' comprehensive knowledge.

The Writing Section provided a straightforward experience with the inclusion of business letters and paragraphs to comprehend. This simplicity is aimed at assessing the student's ability to convey information effectively and analyze content critically. The paper's setting seems intended to evaluate practical language skills and applications rather than rote memorization.
