CBSE Class 12 Chemistry Examination Successfully Conducted Nationwide
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) successfully administered the Class 12 Chemistry examination today across India. The test was held in a single shift from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM at designated examination centers, adhering strictly to the board's established protocols and guidelines. Students were granted the prescribed reading time before commencing the three-hour paper.
Massive Student Participation in Board Examinations
This academic year, a substantial total of 1,859,551 students are registered for the Class 12 board examinations. These candidates are appearing for 120 different subjects across 7,574 examination centers throughout the country. Chemistry stands as a pivotal subject for science stream students, holding significant importance for higher education pursuits in engineering, medical sciences, and pure science disciplines.
Student Reactions from Delhi Examination Centers
Initial feedback from students who appeared for the Chemistry examination at centers in Khajoori Khas, Delhi, indicates a generally positive response. The majority described the paper as straightforward and manageable, with certain sections demanding extra attention.
- Nida, who attempted Set 1, commented, "The paper was easy and most of the questions were straightforward."
- Tanisha Verma, an examinee of Set 2, noted, "Overall, the paper was easy, but some questions from Physical Chemistry needed careful calculation and took more time."
- Aanchal, who tackled Set 3, also found the exam manageable, stating, "The paper was easy and based on familiar concepts from the syllabus."
Another student from the same center, who attempted Set 1, provided a slightly nuanced perspective: "The paper was moderate overall, and the Physical Chemistry section was slightly difficult compared to the rest." Students consistently reported that the questions were predominantly based on NCERT concepts and standard topics from the three core branches: Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry. Several candidates highlighted that numerical problems within the Physical Chemistry segment required meticulous application of formulas, attention to units, and proper use of significant figures.
Examination Pattern and Topic Coverage
According to student accounts, the question paper featured a balanced mix of competency-based questions, short-answer items, and numerical problems. The paper design incorporated internal choices across various sections, allowing candidates to select questions aligned with their preparation strengths. Key units from the syllabus were well-represented, including:
- Electrochemistry
- Chemical Kinetics
- Coordination Compounds
- Organic reaction-based chapters
Students emphasized the importance of carefully reading all instructions, particularly for numerical and conversion-based questions, to avoid common pitfalls and ensure accurate responses.
Awaiting Detailed Analysis and Official Materials
This remains a developing story, with more reactions anticipated from students across different regions of the country. A detailed section-wise analysis from subject experts and educators is expected to be released shortly. Furthermore, the official question paper and comprehensive expert solutions will be made available soon. These resources will assist students in reviewing the question pattern, understanding topic weightage, and analyzing the marking scheme in detail.
The CBSE Class 12 Chemistry examination marks a crucial milestone for science students, and today's generally positive feedback provides encouragement as the board examination season continues.
