Short-answer questions were also easy. Case-based questions were short to read but the questions based on source and case were easy except for one case related to the Upanishad, which students found difficult. Map-based questions were direct,” the teacher said.

Chinmaya Chauhan, PGT History at Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Ghaziabad, said the question paper was set well.

“Class XII History board exam conducted today was set well. It was a mix of easy and moderately difficult questions. Many questions were along expected lines. There were several application-based questions.”

Students who studied regularly throughout the year, read the NCERT textbooks thoroughly and insisted on conceptual clarity, are sure to come out with flying colours,” the teacher said.
