Also, the paper was relatively lengthy with a mix of fresh questions and previously seen questions as well. In physics, the breakup of the question from the class 11th and 12th were almost the same. In mathematics, the syllabus of class 11th and 12th is not clearly demarcated and defined as some topics are in both the classes. So in some questions, it was a bit complex to decide the class to which it belonged, although, a break up of 15 and 10 marks were seen for class 11th and 12th respectively.
