Ridhhima, a Delhi Govt school student said that the questions asked in the paper were easy and straight from the NCERT Books. There was nothing out of the syllabus in the paper.
Another student from the same school, Rashmi, said, “I found the paper bit lengthy as I could not revise the paper after finishing it. I hope to score good marks on this paper.”
“According to me, case-based questions were a bit puzzling. I have to spend a few minutes visualising the answer before start writing it. It was not easy tough,” said Kartikey of Khajoori Khaas school.
Most students were relieved after the exam, and some even found time to discuss the paper with their peers.
Teachers’ Reactions
“It was a balanced question paper which was a mix of application and memory-based questions. The difficulty level was the same as that of the CBSE sample paper. Students found Assertion and reason questions a bit tricky, Sections B, C, and D were of moderate level and Section E had majorly direct questions. Students who had thoroughly prepared from NCERT, will score well,” writes Sonia Saraswat, PGT, Biology, DPS Raj Nagar Extension.
“The level of biology paper was moderate. MCQs were high scoring, however, a few subjective questions were tricky and required critical thinking. The paper was structured as per CBSE guidelines only, but the overall paper required technical thinking and application,” writes Pooja Goel, PGT Biology, MRG School.
Biology Teacher Papiya Saha of Vidya Bharati School, C Block, Surya Nagar, Ghaziabad, reviewed it as a paper that required a thorough understanding of the keen knowledge and concept but all the same commented that questions were almost like that of in previous years and is expecting good marks.
‘It can be a challenge to score 100% for top scorers’

– The multiple choice questions in section A were easy.
– Section C had all the direct questions from NCERT and it is scoring.
– Both the case-based questions in section D were tricky.
– All the questions from section E were also direct.
– Paper was from N.C.E.R.T, all those who have studied N.C.E.R.T thoroughly should excel.
“Most questions were directly from the NCERT textbooks, which made it easier for students who had studied the prescribed syllabus thoroughly,” said a Govt school subject teacher on condition of anonymity.
“The paper was well-balanced, and the questions were evenly distributed across various chapters,” he further said.
“Diagram-based questions were relatively easy, but they required a sound understanding of the subject matter,” said another teacher, who also does not want his name to appear on this page.
“There were no out-of-syllabus questions or topics in the paper, which made it easier for students who had covered the prescribed syllabus,” she added.
