Final Review:
80% questions are directly from NCERT
Emphasis was given more on logical concepts in all parts of
chemistry
7 easy questions can be solved within 30 seconds
4 difficult questions may consume 4-5 minutes
No mechanism based question in Organic Chemistry
Since paper was medium level type the CUT OFF for
Chemistry may be 30-40

Final Review

Overall difficulty of paper was easy as compare to previous year paper.

Class XI and XII carried equal weightages unlike 40-60 ratio.
As was expected difficult questions came in quadratic equation, straight lines and
probability.
Algebra, Calculus and Co-ordinate Geometry Carried Equal weightages.
Calculus was easy, Co-ordinate was medium and Algebra was relatively tough.
We expect a cut-off around 36-40.

Final Review:
72% Questions are explicitly derivable from NCERT.
Emphasis was given more on basic concepts and analytical aptitude was
needed in many questions.
Questions on the whole had almost the same difficulty level, if compared
to JEE Mains 2014.
