A smart time table is one that tells you the importance of scheduling something at a particular time, in an order of merit. In the case of a student it’s one that tells you the importance of scheduling each topic to be studied, per day, maybe per hour. For example, let’s say that one has to study two topics, A and B, and the time available for studying both the topics is 10 days. Now, in the general scenario, one can divide these 10 days into two parts and allocate 5 days each for each topic, A and B. What if topic A has 80% weightage in the exam and topic B has only 20% weightage? In this scenario one should divide the days in proportion to the weightage of the topics i.e. allocate 8 days to A and 2 days to B. This is known as the art of making the smart time table. So, let’s see how a smart time table can help you in scoring well in the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET).
The KCET is conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA or KEA Kar) and is also known as KEA CET and Kar CET.
Careers360’s analysis of Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) previous years’ question papers will show you the weightage, or importance, of all the topics so that you can create your smart time table before starting the preparation. And after finishing the course, you can revise the high weightage topics. This article is helpful to all the students who want to crack KCET with flying colours.
Let’s look at the KCET syllabus first. A total of 900 questions were analysed from the previous five years’ question papers including 300 questions each from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Equal weightage has been given to each subject.

Hello Mamatha,
With a rank of 158,351 in KCET, getting a seat in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) through counseling is highly unlikely.
CSE is a very competitive branch, and typically requires a much better rank, often within the top 10,000 to 20,000 ranks, depending on the year and category.
Your chances might be better for branches with lower demand or at private colleges with higher fee structures.
It’s recommended to consider other branches or private colleges where cutoffs are lower.
Also, explore management quota seats if you wish to pursue CSE specifically, but fees will be higher.
Check the official KCET counseling details and cutoff trends for the current year for more accurate guidance.
I would recommend you to use KCET College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
