The Physics section for Paper 2 was considered a bit tough. Mathematics was relatively easy as compared to previous years, Chemistry was same as in previous years.
Saurabh Kumar, Chief Academic Officer, Vidyamandir Classes, told the news outlet that the biggest change this time was that the matrix match type question was given as an optional question, reducing stress on the students.
What is tie-breaking policy?

- Candidates with higher positive marks will be awarded higher rank.
- Or, the higher rank is given to the one who has higher marks in Mathematics, if it is same, then the total marks of Physics is selected.
If these steps fail, they are given the same rank.
