Feedback of students:

"For me the History paper was easy. I found it bit lengthy though. Somehow I managed to finish it on time," said Govt Girls Senior Secondary School's student Neealm.

Another student of the same school, Khusboo said, "Only two-three questions were tricky, rest of the paper was from NCERT only. Though the paper was easy, but it was lengthy also. I could not find time to revise the paper. I wanted to highlight some of the important points in the paper but could not do so because of the time constraint."

"Most of the questions asked in the paper were straight from the NCERT books only. Question on Map was also easy. The same question was there in our pre-board examination. One question each in Part C and Part D were bit tricky, but they are also doable. I found one "Source Based Question" bit difficult," said Simran, a student of Delhi based private school.
