Shashi Kant Prasad, PGT Mathematics, VidyaGyan School, Dulehra, said that the CBSE Class X Mathematics examination was viewed as lengthy yet moderately difficult, making it manageable for students.

Ashish, a student from VidyaGyan School, shared his experience, “Set 1 was exceptionally difficult, particularly the multiple-choice problems. Most of the 3 and 5-mark questions were difficult, particularly those involving trigonometry.”
Vishal, another student from VidyaGyan School, said ‘Set 2 was deemed to be easier, although question number 25, which involved coordinate geometry, was rather tough.’
Piyush, also a student at VidyaGyan School, commented, ‘The paper was lengthy, which may have made it difficult for some students to complete on time.’
