Commenting on NDA-II 2017 paper, Indus Academics Mathematics expert, Moksh Goyal, said โ โPaper-I that consisted of 120 mathematics question included easy, moderate as well as few lengthy questions on similar patterns with WBJEE, EAMCET, SCRA and IIT JEE MAIN EXAM but the key to success is all aboutย selecting the easy and moderate questions with accuracy. Mathematics questions were distributedย evenly across Algebra, Coordinate, Trigonometry and Calculus. While 41ย Physics and Chemistryย questionsย were fundamentalย and application oriented, which can be termed as highย scoring, 18 questions in Geography were focused on Indian geography with few trivia on world geo facts, 16 History ones being conventional, followed by some dynamic as well as moderate 11 Biology questions.โ

Indus ยญAcademics co-mentor, Nirbhay Kant Gargaya said- โWell, with 33 out of 100 ย Repeated questions ย in General studies paper, 17 straight forward questions inย Geography followed by fairly easy English as well as 13 moderate questions in Modern Historyย and Current affairs, NDA โII 2017 can be certainly termed as scoring one despite few questions beingย completely trivial as well as tough in nature.ย Certainly, NDA-II 2017 was more qualitative than previous NDA papers where many of the questions were picked from previous CDSE and Civil services paper which is not unexpected in papers conducted by UPSC.
One shift in the nature of question observed was that Polity and Economy questions were quite dynamic in nature and were asked in recent context.
TEAM INDUS ANALYSIS GIST: โWith 23ย repeated questions in Mathematicsย section, 14 in Physics, 7 in Chemistry, 5 in Geography, and 4 in History section, NDA EXAM 2017ย can be termed as โreasonably moderateโ to โstraight forwardโ for serious NDA aspirants. Of course, candidates with science background willย have an edge over non-science background aspirants. While few dynamic as well as static questions wereย challenging which is quite expected in UPSC exam, manyย questions were found quite factual, repetitive, straight forward, conceptually efficient and approachable in nature which will let the cutoff ย hover around 30% in various sections.โ- ย TEAM INDUS
