Class 10 ICSE Physics Answer Key 2025 (Available) Live Updates: Unofficial key PDF download

Class 10 ICSE Physics Answer Key 2025 Live Updates: Candidates who took the ICSE Class 10 Physics Exam 2025 on March 17, 2025, are now anxiously awaiting the chance to assess how they performed. To assist these students, several coaching institutes and subject experts have released unofficial answer keys, organized by question paper sets, which are available for download in PDF format on the page below. The paper is traditionally divided into two sections: Section A, consisting of compulsory short-answer questions, and Section B, where students choose from a set of longer, more detailed questions.

As the exam has concluded, unofficial answer keys in PDF format have been made available for download, offering students an early opportunity to assess their performance. These unofficial keys, prepared by subject experts and coaching institutes, are expected to provide question-wise solutions, enabling students to estimate their scores ahead of the official results, which typically follow weeks later.
