Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) successfully conducted the Mathematics paper today on December 06, 2021. This was the most dreaded paper as most students find the subject to be tough or tricky. To their delight, however, the paper was uniform with a good balance of easy, moderate, and tough questions. The central board had specified the expected weightage for each unit. And so, those who integrated this weightage into their preparation could easily solve this paper.
The exam was held for a duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes, from 11:30 pm to 1:00 pm. They were expected to attempt and solve 40 questions within this duration. Now that the paper is over, students can take a look at the analysis given below –
