Blueprint & Chapter Weightage

The following table shows the distribution of marks across different chapters:

Question Paper Analysis

Overall Difficulty Level

• Easy Questions: 30-35% of the paper was direct concept-based, mostly from Units and Measurements, Gravitation, and Work-Energy-Power chapters.
• Moderate Questions: Around 40% of the paper required application-based thinking, including Thermodynamics and Oscillations.
• Difficult Questions: The remaining 25-30% included numerical problems and conceptual derivations, particularly from Laws of Motion and Waves.

Comparison with Previous Years

Compared to previous years, the 2025 Physics paper was moderately challenging, with more numerical problems and application-based questions. Direct theory-based questions were relatively lesser than last year.

Student & Teacher Feedback

Student Reactions

• 70% of students found the exam moderately difficult.
• Most students found the Numerical Section (20 marks) a bit lengthy.
• The theoretical derivations were straightforward, making it easier for well-prepared students.

Teacher’s Opinion
