[CSE Mains 2014] History Paper Discussion

1235776

Comments

  • I think the paper seems tough, esp world history. Only the modern portion, as everyone would agree, was good. Rest above medium. Scarcity of points and length of the paper seem to be issue this time
  • @Hippo bhai

    I think the ancient and medival were also easy for a prepared mind. World history was tough no doubt but modern compensated for that.

    Paper was not a nightmare. Atleast 5 questions from both the papers were doable. :-?
    have to do 5 only from each paper... if 5 questions are doable...why worry about the rest.
