The CBSE class XII Chemistry paper was “easy to moderate” according to Preeti Sharma, Chemistry teacher, Apeejay School, Rama Mandi, Jalandhar.

“The paper followed the CBSE pattern and was well-balanced. The questions were from NCERT, and they covered expected topics. Nothing was out of syllabus,” the teacher said. So, the students who had studied NCERT thoroughly would have been able to answer the question paper easily.

As for the length of the question paper, the Chemistry teacher mentioned that it was not too long.

She added, “Long answer-type questions were direct, and the short answer-type questions were theoretical and tricky. Overall, it was a good paper with balanced elements from all the sections.” However, the MCQs were different in all sets while the theoretical questions were mostly the same.
