The CBSE or Central Board of Secondary Education conducted the Class 10 Science paper today. According to an expert the CBSE Class 10 science paper was moderately easy. Class 10 science board exam was held from 10:30 to 1:30 PM on Saturday. Priyanka Singh, TGT-Natural Science from Government Co-Ed SSS Laxmi Bai Nagar, also said an average student can easily score more than 75% marks if attempted properly.

“Today”s paper was found to be moderately easy for the students. The paper comprised of total 39 questions in total 5 sections. Paper was set in such a coordinated manner so that an average student can easily achieve more than 75% marks. Approximately 60- 70% of the questions were directly asked and rest of the portion demanded in depth knowledge to be applied,” Ms Priyanka told Timeline.

On different sections, Ms Priyanka said this:

“Section A which comprised of 20 MCQ was found to be easy where as section B and section E were found to be moderate and section C and D were moderate to tough. 5 mark questions were found to be promising for students, as the questions gave them an opportunity to grab all the 5 marks due to part wise division of the single question.

“3 case based questions were from the chapters Light, Heredity & evolution and Metals and Non metals which are the 3 Main chapters of the Class 10th science Physics Chemistry and Biology part.”

Overall, Ms Priyanka said, “the question paper was well-designed to cater to the students of varying abilities, ensuring that weaker students have a fair chance to pass was well as providing challenges for average students to excel and achieve distinctions. That”s a great approach to promote fairness and encourage academic success for all students.”
