Mathematics was rated as moderate, primarily due to lengthy calculations rather than conceptual complexity.
Most candidates attempted only a few questions
A limited number of candidates managed higher attempts
Questions were lengthy, not conceptually difficult but impractical under strict time constraints
Topics included Vectors & Three-Dimensional Geometry, AP/GP, and Coordinate Geometry
Candidates felt that even selecting the right questions consumed significant time.

Chemistry emerged as easy to moderate and lengthy, with balanced weightage across all three sections.
Candidates reported spending considerable time on Chemistry
Attempts were moderate overall
Organic Chemistry: Statement-based questions formed a major portion
Inorganic Chemistry: Coordination compounds and statement-based questions
Physical Chemistry: Numerical and multi-step questions from Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics
Integer-type questions added to the time pressure, especially where multi-step calculations were involved.

Physics was widely described as easy to moderate in terms of concepts, but time-consuming in execution.
A significant portion of the exam duration was spent on Physics
Attempts varied widely among candidates
Major weightage from Ray Optics, Current Electricity, Modern Physics, and EM Waves
Questions involved calculations, integrations, and ratio-based optics problems, increasing time consumption
Despite simpler theory, lengthy calculations prevented many from maximizing attempts.
