According to Dr. Sunil Sati, HOD Science, Bhai Parmanand Vidya Mandir, the CBSE class 10th science exam was average and well-balanced. Most of the questions were direct and NCERT-based. The question paper was a balanced mix of knowledge, analysis, and application-based questions. The science exam was for 80 marks, to be attempted within 3 hours. The paper was divided into 5 Sections A, B, C, D, and E.
- Section A consisted of 20 objective type questions carrying 1 mark each.
- Section B consists of 6 Very Short questions carrying 02 marks each.
- Section C consists of 7 Short Answer type questions carrying 03 marks each.

- Section E consists of 3 source-based/case-based units of assessment of 04 marks each with sub-parts.
According to him, most of the objective-based questions were quite simple. Assertion reason-based questions required analytical aptitude. Questions related to Heredity were knowledge-based. Questions from Life processes and control and coordination were NCERT-based. Questions from Our environment were easy and direct. Case study-based questions were balanced and required conceptual knowledge. Questions from Carbon and its compounds were from NCERT. Three sets of question papers were there: Sets 1,2 and 3. Modest variation was there in the different sets. Assertion reason and case study-based questions were the same in all three sets. Overall a balanced paper and entirely based on NCERT.
Meanwhile, Dr. Nisha Sharma, Science teacher at KIIT World School, Gurugram, said that the Class 10th Science board exam commenced with a well-balanced question paper of moderate difficulty. Section A featured a mix of Objective Type Questions covering both theory and application-based concepts. The final four questions in this section were Assertion and Reason Questions, testing students’ comprehension and recall abilities. Section B focused on theoretical aspects and was relatively easier. Section C presented a blend of theoretical and application-based inquiries, including a few analytical questions of moderate complexity. Section D encompassed questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, comprising theory, numerical, and application-based queries of easy to moderate difficulty. Section E incorporated Competency Based Questions emphasizing application and analysis concepts. Overall, the question paper effectively evaluated students’ application and analytical skills. Those who had practiced with CBSE sample papers, NCERT, and Exemplar Exercises found it beneficial. In summary, students were content with the level of difficulty in the question paper.
According to Meetu Mishra, HOD Science Department, MTG Learning Media, the level of the question paper was moderate to easy. However, some questions were application-based and a bit tricky. The majority of the questions were from NCERT, and any student with in-depth knowledge of the NCERT textbook will obtain good marks.
- Section A had direct and easy MCQs from NCERT lines.
- Section B had moderate and direct questions.
- Section C was moderate, lengthy, and thinking based.
- Section D had application-based and competency-based questions.
- Section E was conceptual and practical and could be directly solved.
- The overall question paper was moderate, with a combination of remembering, understanding and analytical skills questions.
- Most of the questions were the same or similar to those in the MTG book CBSE 10 Years Solved Papers Chapterwise-Topicwise Science.
