Questions were asked from Chemistry in Everyday Life, GOCs, Aldehydes, Ketones, Environmental Chemistry and Polymers.
The Mathematics part was concept based but moderate. The mainstay of the paper was 6 to 7 questions from Calculus. There were two questions from Algebra, two questions from Integration, one question from Differential Equations, two questions from Coordinate Geometry and three questions from Vector & 3D Geometry. Sharma said that there were some good questions in the paper as well, which required a lot of thought from the students to solve.
