CBSE concluded the class 12 exam for Political Science paper today. The early responses suggest that the paper had a balanced mixture of direct and application-based questions. The paper was held for 70 marks, 30 marks having been allotted to internal assessment exercises.
We spoke to Nidhi Sharma, TGT, Army Public School, Delhi cantt., about today's paper and she was of the opinion that the paper would have been easy to solve for a student who did an in-depth study of the NCERT textbook.
She added that the paper had a good mix of direct, analytical, and conceptual questions. Image based questions in all sets were easy.
All over the difficulty level of the question was moderate. She added that the long answer type questions were scoring if a student had studied from NCERT textbooks.
The exam for Political Science paper was held at 2,698 exam centres. As per CBSE's data, 1,99,763 candidates had registered for CBSE class 12 Political Science exam.
