Shagun Sharma , another student, said this was her first attempt. Though she was nervous before entering the examination hall, she was relieved once she saw the question paper.

Similar views were shared by the students appearing in Government College for Women, "Physics paper was tough", they said in unison.
On the other hand , many students like Sachit Chaudhry, Pawan Preet and scores of students found the papers 'all-right'. Hundreds of students took the CET (Common Entrance Test) examination this morning. The boys and girls appearing for this examination aspire to be future engineers.
