• In Math, all chapters were covered in the paper but the chapters on algebra and calculus received the most attention. the Binomial Theorem, Complex Numbers, Differentiation, Definite Integrals, Area under Curves, Hyperbola & Circle, Vectors, Determinants, 3D Geometry, Probability, Binomial Theorem, Permutation & Combination, Complex Numbers, Defining Integrals, and the Binomial Theorem. The calculations in the Numerical Section were lengthy. Few MCQs were found to have difficult and lengthy questions.
• The physics section was simple. All topics, including mechanics, waves, and modern physics, were asked. There were also “match type” questions. The paper was formula-based, which is why students find it doable.
• In chemistry, the key to achieving high marks lies in studying NCERT textbooks and taking NCERT-based mock tests. It was a fairly balanced section overall. Compared to Organic Chemistry, there were fewer Physical Chemistry questions. There were questions from chapters on coordination chemistry, atomic structure, thermodynamics, redox processes, chemical kinetics, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, and ketones, but none of them came from the chapter “Chemistry in Everyday Life”.
