Going by the reactions on the web it seems that most of the students who didn't prepared for JEE went through a nightmare while attempting the paper.
Now coming on to my view I agree with those students and this paper was definitely friendly to JEE preparing students and its too tough to handle for a simple school going student.
CBSE tricked everyone by silently deleting topics while adding few more silently. The supplementary material was a big issue for students and surprisingly none of the question came. Instead they asked the FM question which was only added in syllabus student didn't had any material to study from NCERT or even refreshers.
It was only meant for JEE students question which they will enjoy. Being a teacher for JEE preparation I liked this paper very much. The questions were regular for a student extensively studying for JEE. For his delight no question from Transistor, Earth's magnetism and related topics,No Ac generator or mcg description. Instead it had lots of questions they have done in JEE preparation.
All in all this was for JEE aspirants and highlighted the fact that JEE coaching is a must for the students. Good for people like me, papers like this will surely benefit us .

The CBSE Class XII physics board exam left students bitter as questions were a bit tricky and lengthy. According to teachers, the paper was not student-friendly.
Students had six days for preparing for the subject but they claimed the question paper was strenuous. Amandeep Singh, a Class XII student, said "The exam was very tricky. I was not able to attempt all the questions on time. It wasn't what I expected. Many questions were new and complicated."
After a deep analysis of the question paper, Vivek Gulati, a teacher, said "Boards should give grace marks to students. The weightage of questions were less --- derivations that were allotted 2 marks should have been given wieghtage of 3-4 marks. Even after encountering questions out of syllabus, students gave their best attempt. I will pray for the best possible results."
Parents were worried after watching kids coming out of the examination hall with glum faces. "It's really unfortunate when kids study day and night and the question paper comes out to be unexpected. I am still encouraging my daughter and want her to prepare for chemistry strongly," said Aruna Bharti, a resident of Sector 2.
Kavita Das, principal, St John's High School, said, "The physics paper was very challenging for students. Questions were tricky and lengthy as question of 3 marks was divided into parts. The paper was extremely time consuming due to which many students were unable to complete the paper. Even the well-prepared students could not perform properly. The exam was not student-friendly. Bulk of the questions were application-based which further added to the time."

Physics teachers from various city government schools held a meeting in Sector 16 on Monday to discuss the CBSE physics question paper of Class 12 , conducted on Monday, which they referred to be difficult and different from the usual pattern followed by the respective board.
Teachers found the question paper tricky and lengthy which, according to them, could not be completed within stipulated time.
They also pointed out errors stating that many three marks questions in all the three sets were not justified.
"The paper was very lengthy and drastically off-track from the previous year's pattern. While the concept of an exam should be 'how much does a person know', the paper seemed to be about 'how much can he write in a speculated time'.
Most questions were beyond the comprehension of students. Even the brightest of my students couldn't attempt any of the three-mark questions due to lack of time," said Chhavi Chopra, a physics tutor in city.
"Students are shattered and depressed, which may affect their performance in the next exam. CBSE should either conduct the exam again or give grace marks to all irrespective of whether questions have been attempted or not," she added.
"The question paper was really difficult and different this time. Students from city's top schools even complaint of facing difficulty in attempting the questions. Paper was not scoring at all", stated Bhag Singh, physics teacher.
Amarjit Singh, another teacher said that CBSE should keep in mind the 40% weightage for JEE (main) while checking the papers and grace marks should also be given to the students for the lengthy paper.
"Students were seen puzzled at the centers. They were getting confused and anxious as they did niot expect such a twisted and difficult paper. CBSE should stick to its pattern or should release sample papers before following a changed pattern to give a fair idea to the students before,"said Bhag Singh.
Dapinderjeet singh, a Class 12 student said though paper was a bit lengthy and tricky there were some direct questions which could be scoring for the students.
The story in tribune
Students who appeared for the physics paper of the CBSE Class XII examinations today were upset as they found it to be “tricky” and “lengthy”.
Most students demanded grace marks as they felt the question paper could not be solved in the stipulated time. In fact, physics lecturers of government schools have requested the CBSE, through a memorandum, to give grace marks to the students, keeping in view the length and toughness of the paper for an average student.
One of the senior lecturers, Bhag Singh Kairon of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 23, said that after analysing the paper, he found that the questions carrying three marks used to carry five marks earlier as their answers were lengthy. Referring to that question paper, he said that in set number 1, questions number 16, 21 and 22, in set number 2, questions number 14, 18 and 22, and in set number 3, questions number 12, 19 and 20 were of this kind.
Savinder Singh, a physics lecturer of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 40, said the pattern of the question paper was quite different from the CBSE sample papers and the papers of the past 10 years. He said it was difficult for an average student to clear this exam, as even the “bright” students of his class called him up to tell that they got confused while writing the paper.
Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 35, lecturer Mamta Mehta said that value-based questions carrying four marks each had three parts, out of which two were technical and only one value-based. Also, a numerical question in the paper was not as per the CBSE pattern, she said.
Private physics trainer Kunal Singh said students who had done selective study found the paper tough, but those who did exhaustive preparations would score well. He said for an average and below-average student, the paper was tough.
“This is primarily because many of the frequently asked questions were not repeated in today’s paper,” he said.
