Resonance Experts feel that all subjects were of similar difficulty level, while Chemistry was on easier side compared with
Physics & Mathematics While around 156 Marks can be considered easy overall, 140 marks are relatively difficulty and 64
marks are considered difficult by Resonance Team.
Overall, the experts at Resonance said that while the paper was moderately difficult, the cut-off may remain same as last year,
since the number of aspirants have gone up and competition is intense as this exam is a gateway to JEE (Advanced).
