The physics question paper was also bifurcated into three sections – Section A (30x1=30), and Section B (5x2=10), Section A and B were quite easy to attempt and scoring. As per experts, only two or three questions in both the sections were conceptual in nature.

Section C was really a bonus section. All the questions were quite easy to attempt and based on the prescribed chapters and formula that were part of the 10+2 curriculum. There were actually no conceptual or application-oriented questions.

Chemistry kept its reputation of being the easiest section in WBJEE. The question paper has the same pattern in terms of distribution and categorization of questions as Physics. There were no numerals and all the questions were of moderate difficulty level. 

Overall, WBJEE was easier in terms of difficulty level if compared to JEE Main. However, since candidates need to solve 155 questions in 4 hours as compared to 90 questions in 3 hours, many struggled to finish each paper on time. Those who had taken mock tests and solved previous year papers are likely to get a better score with their enhanced speed and precision.
