Forenoon Session

Sanya "The exam was okay, not very difficult and definitely not easy. Physics was the toughest section. I am dicey about some questions so I cannot predict my marks as of now.

Agam "My exam went fine. Physics was the most difficult section, however, Mathematics and Chemistry were very easy. I am expecting around 150 marks."

Tushar "The paper was just fine. Mathematics section was very easy. Physics on the other hand was the toughest section. Chemistry was as usual from the NCERT syllabus. I have attempted all questions in the Mathematics section. Vector had 2 questions, rest all chapters had one one questions. The paper was evenly balanced in terms of syllabus. I have attempted 60 questions and I expect to get 160-170 marks. There were no technical glitches in the exam but my system was a little slow."

Chandraprakash "The exam was okay. The paper had moderate difficulty level. Mathematics was the toughest section for me, Physics and Chemistry were moderate. I am expecting near about 150 marks. I hope to get admission in any of the NITs.

Priya - Paper was very nice. Chemistry was the easiest, Mathematics was also easy and Physics was a bit tougher. The paper had 50% numerical questions. I expect to score 150 marks.

Vicky- The paper was easy. Mathematics and Chemistry was very easy. Physics was easy to moderate. Mathematics include questions from co-ordinate geometry. In chemistry, three questions were from co-ordination compounds. Very less questions were asked from Modern Physics and Optics. I expect to score around 150. I am targeting for DTU, NSUT.

Jaimala- The exam was very nice. For me, Physics was difficult and Chemistry was very easy. I attempted 22 questions in Chemistry. I expect to score 200 marks.

Forenoon Session

Khushi: The paper was fine and I am hoping for the best. For me, Mathematics was disappointing as I consider it as my strongest subject but my performance was not up to the mark. I am expecting to score above 100.

Pratyush: The paper was fine. I expect to score about 50% marks i.e 150 marks in the exam. Questions asked in the exam were not that difficult but were time consuming. Physics was my best section of the exam and I expect to score the most in the section.

Ayushman: The Paper was moderate in difficulty level. I found Physics a bit tough and Mathematics & Chemistry were easy. Questions based on Calculus in Mathematics were pretty easy and according to me questions based on Algebra were difficult. I expect to score above 200. I hope to get admission in NITs, IIITs.

Sai: The paper was fine and I expect to score 144 marks. I found Physics as the most difficult subject in the exam. Questions in Physics from Class 11 were easy but questions asked from Class 12th syllabus were very difficult. Mathematics was very and Chemistry was moderate in difficulty.

Afternoon Session

Bhavya: The paper was moderately difficult but for me it was very difficult as I did not cover all the topics while preparations. The Physics section had questions from Thermodynamics. I have no expectations at all.

Archit: I am from ICSE board. My paper went good, maybe not very good, but it is okay. The paper was of moderate diffiiculty level but I felt it was really lengthy. Chemistry was the easiest section among all. Chemistry mostly had questions from inorganic chemistry. One or two questions were asked from Thermodynamics in the Physics section. I hope to get admission in one of the NITs.

Jahnvi: The exam went really good. The paper was not very difficult. I felt it was easier than the last year paper. Chemistry was the easiest section and Mathematics was the most difficult among all the 3 sections. I am expecting to get more than 200 marks.

Divyank: My paper went really good. Overall it was a balanced paper, Mathematics was a bit difficult and Chemistry was very easy. Physics had questions evenly distributed from all the topics. Mathematics had questions mainly from class 12 syllabus. I am expecting around 120-130 marks. I am setting my expectations low. I hope I get admission in any of the IITs or NITs.

Forenoon Session

Vansh: The paper was difficult but some sections were easy. The paper had 2 sections section A and B. The numerical value questions were a bit difficult but as there was no negative marking for them I attempted all of them.

Rishiraj: The paper was good. Physics was the toughest section and Chemistry was the easiest. I managed to complete all the questions in the test.

Deepika: My exam went really well. The paper was of moderate difficulty level, however, the Mathematics section was a bit difficult, Chemistry was very easy and Physics was of average difficulty level. The chemistry section mainly had questions from Organic Chemistry. I attempted total 10 numerical value questions.

Afternoon Session

Dhruv Sharma - "I attempted both B.Arch and B.Planning. The paper was quite easy and of moderate difficulty."

Rishib - "For me, the paper was fine. Drawing was a tough section and Maths was easy. Numerical questions were easy and I was able to solve 2 or 3 out of five. General aptitude was also tough."

Pranjli from CBSE board thinks the paper was of moderate level. Aptitude and drawing was easy while Maths was tough. Drawing sections had questions like drawing of portrait and aesthetic values of equilateral triangles and all. Aptitude was easy."

Forenoon Session

Lokesh - “The paper was average. I attempted B.Arch examination. Mathematics was of average difficulty and no section was tough. The entire paper was not very tough and I could attempt all questions.

Harshita - “The exam was good. I appeared for only B.Arch paper. In the General Aptitude section, there were questions such as explaining 3D image, viewing the structure of a building from the top and we have to match it with the options. Mathematics questions were quite easy. Overall difficulty level of the exam was average. I think I will clear the examination.”

Arushi Dua - “The exam was good. Mathematics and aptitude was of moderate difficulty but the drawing section was tough for me. In the drawing section, there were side views, top views and mirror images questions. Mathematics has questions from area under the graphs and vectors. I am expecting 200 marks.”

Abiral - “I attempted B.Arch paper. Mathematics was a bit tricky but not tough. Coordinate Geometry and Sets & Probability questions were there in the paper. General aptitude had questions on mental ability and there were only a few questions from theories. In the drawing section, we had to draw a gymnast and then use cylinders to make a composition. The paper was between moderate to easy. I am expecting to score around 60% to 70%”
