Paper- 1
Physics
In the Physics section, the majority of questions were from the 12th class and just 25% to 30% questions from the 11th class syllabus.
The questions in the Physics section were direct and anyone who clears with his/her fundamentals could have easily attempted 44 questions and with 85% accuracy will get 35 to 36 questions correct which means a score of 144 which is a decent score.
Some important topics of physics
1. Wave Motion
2. Rotational Motion
3. Electrostatics
4. Ray Optics
5. Motion in One Dimension and Solids & Semiconductor device
6. Magnetic Effect of Current & Magnetism
7. Heat & Thermodynamic
Chemistry
The chemistry section was also reasonably doable for students who were clear with their basics and fundamentals.
A good number of attempts would be around 43- 44 at an accuracy of 85 % will get 34 questions correct and can easily fetch a score of 140, which is a good score.
Some important Chemistry Topics
1. Aldehyde Ketone
2. p-block elements
3. Ionic Equilibrium

8. Chemical Bonding
Mathematics
Most of the questions from Mathematics section were from 12th class syllabus and doable, i.e. not very time-consuming.
Decent attempts would be around 45 questions within a time frame of 60 minutes. Attempts of 45 at 85% accuracy will get around 37 questions correct which will yield a score of 148 in maths sections which can be considered a good score.
Some important Mathematics Topics
1. Vectors, Probability
2. Definite Integration
3. Dynamics, Complex Numbers
4. Matrices Determinants
5. Theory of Equation
