Overview
- CBSE conducted the Class 12 Physics paper on February 20 in a single 10:30 am–1:30 pm session nationwide.
- The exam followed the prescribed 33-question, five-section structure with MCQs, short answers, case studies, and long-answer derivations.
- Section-wise analyses highlighted expected derivations in electrostatics, ray optics, and EMI/AC, and case-based questions on galvanometer and the photoelectric effect.
- Reactions varied from describing the paper as lengthy and calculation-heavy to calling it balanced and scoring for students prepared from NCERT, with some noting set-wise differences.
- The complete question paper (Set 3) was published online for review, as CBSE continued advising stakeholders not to heed unverified leak rumours.
