The paper was easy and the questions were asked directly,” Chatterjee said and gave the following low down on the paper.

Neena Kaushik, A PGT Economics at Apeejay School, Saket said that this year’s paper was easy and the language used in the questions was easy to understand.

“There were a couple of questions where the students had to analyse. So, they would have had to put on their thinking caps. The other questions that were asked were direct from the textbook. Also, in general the questions asked were on expected lines,” Kaushik said.

The CBSE class X exams are being held in 26 countries. The results are slated to be released in May on CBSE’s official website.
