CBSE 12th Physics Exam Paper Review 2025
Surender Puli, PGT Physics, Vidyagyan School, Sitapur, said that overall the paper was lengthy, and Set 3 was particularly long. The multiple-choice questions (MCQs) were quite challenging and tricky. Section E, comprising five-mark questions, was comparatively easy but took a little time to solve, similar to three-mark questions in Section C. In Section B, some of the two-mark questions were slightly tough and needed a better concept understanding.
