Aditya Bajpai (LPS, South City Branch): The paper was quite standard and lengthy. The ratio of moderate to easy questions was also unbalanced. Overall, the level of paper was nice and time was not left for revising.
Disha Chilani (LPS, South City Branch): The paper was a bit difficult, especially the MCQ and assertion reason section. The rest The paper was nice. I was able to just complete it in the given time.
Lipika Charu (LPS, South City Branch): The paper was moderate. Sections D and E were very easy and only derivations were asked. I have faced problem in solving MCQ as they were tricky.
Ajay Kumar (LPS, Sector I): The [aper was quite tough and lengthy. Section E was scoring and Section A was also good apart from some MCQs. Sections B and C were tough, with a lot of numerical and conceptual questions. Case study was rich in numerical.
CBSE Class 12 Physics analysis: Overall a ‘challenging to moderate’ paper
The paper pattern and format of the CBSE Class 12 Physics Paper 2023-24 were according to the latest Class 12 Physics Sample Paper 2023-24 (issued by CBSE). There were 5 sections in the paper i.e. A, B, C, D and E.
Section A contains sixteen MCQ of 1 mark each, Section B contains five questions of two marks each, Section C contains seven questions of three marks each, Section D contains two case study based questions of 4 marks each, section E contains three long questions of five marks each.
There was no overall choice. However, internal choices were provided in some questions.
As per students, the difficulty level of the question paper was Moderate to Challenging. Most time-consuming section was Section C, Difficulty level of numerical problems was Medium, according to students.
All the questions in the paper were from the latest CBSE 12th Physics syllabus. Students felt that the theory questions tested the student’s depth.The CBSE Class 12 Physics question paper was tougher than the CBSE Class 12 sample question paper. Question paper was also lengthy and time-consuming. Most students felt “Section-C” was difficult and time-consuming. Section C is considered difficult, while Section D is considered moderate to difficult level.
The questions on the exam ranged in difficulty from moderate to challenging. Most of the questions required students to use critical thinking and application.
Questions based on case studies required conceptual knowledge.
Questions in Set 1 & 3 were similar, whereas in Set 2 tricky application-based and graph questions were different.
Overall a challenging to moderate paper as far as the difficulty level is concerned, with a balanced approach for all kinds of students.
CBSE Board Exam 2024: Section-wise analysis of 12th Physics paper
The paper has five sections – Section A – MCQs and A&R (1 mark), Section B – Very Short Answer Type Questions (2 marks), Section C – Short Answer Type Questions (3 marks), Section D – Case- Based/Data-Based Questions (4 marks) and Section E – Long Answer Type Questions (5 Marks).
However, it was mistakenly mentioned in the general instructions of the paper that Section D contains LA type questions and Section E contains Case-based questions. The paper was moderate and well-balanced. The paper adhered to the prescribed curriculum, providing a fair assessment of the students’ preparedness. Standard qualities of numerical problems were asked to test the analytical ability of students.
Section A had MCQs that required logical thinking, while Assertion and Reason type questions could be found in NCERT textbook lines.
Section B and Section C had moderate-level questions that required critical thinking to answer.
Section D had application-based and competency-based questions.
Section E was theoretical and conceptual that could be solved by students having in depth knowledge of the textbook.
The overall question paper was moderate, with a combination of remembering, understanding and analytical skills questions.
CBSE Class 12 Physics paper review: Exam tougher than previous years
Students in Chandigarh found the CBSE Class 12 Physics paper above average and said while the Chemistry exam had been comparatively easier, the level of the Physics paper was higher.
Adhiraj, a student at Vivek High School in Sector 38 said that the paper was challenging as compared to the level of the NCERT books and sample papers. He said that it was more numerical-based and was close to the level of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main exam.
Kuldeep Singh, Phycis teacher at GMSSS Sector 16 called the paper above average and said that since the numerical portion was more, he anticipates that it would be a low-scoring paper for students. He added that this time the paper was tougher than previous years.
