Resonance experts feel that all subjects were of similar difficulty level, while mathematics was
on tougher side compared with chemistry & physics. While around 148 Marks can be
considered easy overall, 160 marks are relatively difficulty and 52 marks are considered difficult
by Resonance Team.
Overall, it is felt that while paper is moderate, the cut-off would decrease because of increase in
number of seats from 1,50,000 to 2,00,000.
