Class 10 Examination Analysis
Difficult Maths paper challenges students, but manageable for most
By TINA KHATRI | INDORE | February 24, 2026
The Class 10 Mathematics examination conducted on Tuesday by the MPBSE has left students with mixed feelings. Described as “moderate to difficult,” the paper tested endurance through long numerical sets and complex logic.
STUDENT FEEDBACK METER
NCERT Foundations vs. Concept Depth
While the 100-mark paper (75 theory, 25 internal) stayed strictly within the NCERT syllabus, students noted that simple memorization was insufficient. The 2026 pattern leaned heavily toward testing deep conceptual understanding.
Ground Reports: Mixed Reactions
"I was able to attempt questions worth 70 marks easily. The paper was entirely based on what we practiced."— Kajal Ahirwar, Student
"Even the Basic version required extensive multi-step calculations. Time management was a huge challenge."— Abhishek Sen, Student
Section D: The "Wall" for Many
A significant number of candidates identified Section D as the primary obstacle. This section featured long-answer questions that required detailed analytical solutions, particularly in Algebra and Trigonometry.
Ajay Mishra, another student from an Indore center, noted that although questions were from the textbook, the numerical complexity was time-consuming, preventing many from finishing the paper on time.
| Key Topic | Student Assessment |
|---|---|
| Algebra & Geometry | Conceptual & Deep |
| Trigonometry | Time-Consuming |
| Statistics | Manageable |
| Overall Difficulty | Moderate+ |
Final Verdict: The 2026 Mathematics paper rewarded students with thorough preparation and high calculation speeds, while those relying on rote learning found it significantly challenging.
