| Subject-Wise Difficulty Level – Jan 22 Shift 2 | |
| Subject | Difficulty Level |
| Physics | Easy to Moderate |
| Chemistry | Moderate |
| Mathematics | Easy to Moderate |
Physics Difficulty & Nature
Physics was rated Easy to Moderate and was considered one of the more scoring sections. Questions were formula-based and concept-driven, enabling quick attempts with accuracy.
Physics Topic Coverage
Questions were asked from Mechanics (Work, Energy, Circular Motion, Kinematics), Modern Physics, Semiconductors and Logic Gates, Current Electricity and Capacitors, Fluids, along with Thermodynamics, Elasticity, and Sound Waves.
Physics Observations
A Microscope question from Optics appeared after a long gap but remained within the syllabus. Overall, Physics followed a predictable pattern, contributing positively to scores.
Chemistry Difficulty Level
Chemistry was rated Moderate to Easy. While some questions required careful reading, the section was largely manageable for students with regular practice.
Chemistry Topic Distribution
Inorganic Chemistry had noticeable weightage, particularly Coordination Compounds and Chemical Bonding. Questions from Organic Chemistry (GOC, reactions) and Physical Chemistry (numerical-based) were balanced.
Chemistry Question Pattern
A mix of single-correct, multi-correct, and numerical-type questions was observed. Some options were closely framed, but overall the section remained moderately challenging.
Mathematics Difficulty & Topics
Mathematics was rated Moderate. Key topics included Vectors & 3D Geometry, Quadratic Equations, Probability, Relations & Functions, Limits & Continuity, Differential Calculus, and Sequences & Series.

The Physics section was easy to average. Questions were mostly formula-based and direct, though minor errors in the formula for Fluid Mechanics (surface tension/liquid formula) required attention. Students could complete this section in approximately 50 minutes.
Key topics included:
Ray Optics: 2–3 questions
Modern Physics: 2–3 questions
Fluid Mechanics: 2–3 questions, minor formula errors noted
This made the section manageable for students who prioritized accuracy over speed.
Last Updated: 01:02 PM, 23 January 2026
Chemistry section was moderate in difficulty. It tested conceptual understanding across Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry, with more emphasis on Organic and Inorganic topics. Students found some questions theory-based, while others required numerical calculations.
Last Updated: 12:55 PM, 23 January 2026
Chemistry: Moderate; Organic and Inorganic emphasized; Physical short numericals.
Physics: Easy to average; formula-based; minor errors in Fluid Mechanics.
Mathematics: Lengthy but standard; careful time allocation needed.
Overall: Students who followed a strategic round-wise approach and managed their time well were able to attempt a good number of questions accurately, making the shift challenging but solvable.
