    Key Features

  • All questions are usually compulsory in Section A

  • Internal choices are given in longer questions (Sections C and D)

  • Questions are set from all units of the syllabus

  • Step-by-step solutions are required for numerical problems

  • Some chapters of the syllabus are marked for TMA (Teacher marked Assignment) and questions from those don’t come in the final exam. So the entire final exam syllabus is not the combined grade 11 & grade 12 syllabus but much less than that.

    Important Notes

  • 15 minutes extra time is given for reading the question paper

  • Questions range from easy to difficult to cater to all students. However, as per our observation the paper is slightly easier than CBSE board exams.

  • Practical marks are based on experiments, viva-voce, and practical records

  • Questions can be attempted in any order
