According to our experts, the level of the paper was easy to average. There were different paper codes in India and outside India. Paper codes in India were Q,R, S and T while outside India it was U,W,W,X. Some parents were showing concern since the Indian paper was 28 pages and the other pages are 32 pages. But let us tell you, the level of the paper was not difficult. In fact, we felt that it was easier! The number of pages in the test doesn't make any difference. 

Minor errors were also found in some questions in all sections. You can raise concerns once the NTA Error reporting window is open. 

 

Let's take a look at the analysis provided by our experts-

 

According to us, none of the subjects was very difficult. According to the average feedback from students, they found physics difficult as compared to other subjects. Some concepts of chemistry were also doubtful for the students.
