Other subjects were on expected lines. I would put the ratio of questions asked from Class 11 and 12 to be 45% and 55% respectively. Questions from Electrostatics, Mechanics and Electronics dominated Physics, while in Chemistry more questions were asked from Physical followed by Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. In Biology, there was an even spread. Nothing outside of NCERT was asked.
