Odisha

Josika Panda of Kedriya Vidyalaya no. 1, Bhubaneswar said, “The questions were pretty good especially the 3 marks and 8 marks questions . Most of the questions were direct. I found the time little short because this year we have a new pattern of question that is 20 questions of 1 mark each and students have to read line by line of NCERT book and it’s not cakewalk for all the students as we have 3 books covering three periods i.e., Ancient , Medieval and Modern. In one mark question we had picture identification, identification of sayings of great personalities and other dates and names of people .”

“The paper was in its medium difficulty level. While nothing was asked out of the syllabus, the paper was a bit of lengthy. While my set (set 3) was quite easier, others were quite harder. The short answer type questions were ambiguous and it took time to interpret the questions. Since MCQ is a new inclusion this year it was a hard attempt for us.Overall the paper was average and a well attempt,” said Bidisha Maharana of Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1 BBSR (1st shift)
