KCET Question Paper Analysis: Know What To Study And How

KCET Syllabus

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.

Here is the subject-wise analysis of previous year’ papers of KCET.

Physics

The following table shows the weightage of each section of Physics. As you can see, the highest weightage is for Electrodynamics at 43%. This unit includes Electric Charges and Fields; Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance; Moving Charges and Magnetism; Magnetism and Matter; and Electromagnetic Waves, Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current. These are Class 12 Physics chapters in the NCERT. The most important topics from these chapters are Electric Charge, Coulomb’s Law, Electric Field, Electric Lines, Continuous Charge Distribution, Gauss’s Law, Electrostatic Potential, Work Done, Potential Energy In Electric Field, Capacitance, Capacitors, Biot-Savart Law, Ampere’s Circuital Law, Magnetic Field Lines, Electromagnetic Waves And Spectrum; and Bandwidth And Modulation Of Signals. Another important unit is Current Electricity and Electromagnetic Induction. This unit includes Current Electricity, Electromagnetic Induction, Alternating Current and Semiconductors.

The following table shows the number of questions from each chapter that appeared in the KCET Physics section over the last five years. A total of 300 questions have been examined and organised in a tabular form. Among all the chapters, 27 questions from Current Electricity were asked in the past five years’ KCET papers which makes it 9% of the questions asked in Physics. The other important chapters are: Moving Charges And Magnetism; Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance; Semiconductor Electronics; Materials Devices And Simple Circuits; Electric Charges And Fields. As you can see, the maximum questions asked in this part of the KCET are from Class 12 Physics chapters . So, it is recommended that first you start preparing Physics for Class 12.

Chemistry

The following table shows the weightage of each section of Chemistry. The subject is divided into three parts: Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. As you can see, the highest weightage is for Physical Chemistry (35%). Physical Chemistry comprises 11 chapters. Some numerical problems come from some topics every year. These topics are Solid State, Gaseous State, Equilibrium, Chemical Kinetics and Thermodynamics.

The following table shows the number of questions from each chapter that appeared in the KCET Chemistry section over the last five years. A total of 300 questions have been examined and organised in a tabular form.

In the Inorganic Chemistry section, s-block elements, p-block elements, d- and f-block elements and Classification of Elements and Periodicity In Properties (comprising more than 15% weightage of the questions that are asked in Chemistry) are interlinked topics. Hence these are the must do topics before the examination.

In the Organic Chemistry section, Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers and Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids (comprising 11.3% weightage of the questions that are asked in Chemistry) are interlinked topics. These topics must not be left out in final revision.

Mathematics

The following table shows the weightage of each section of Mathematics. As you can see, the highest weightage is for Algebra (41.6%). Calculus includes Limits And Derivatives, Continuity And Differentiability, Application Of Derivatives, Integrals, Application Of Integrals, Differential Equations. This unit is completely based on formulas. Practising a lot of questions based on this unit can help a lot in examinations. So, it is recommended to prepare this unit first.

The following table shows the number of questions from each chapter appeared in the KCET Mathematics section over the last 5 years. A total of 300 questions have been examined and organised in a tabular form. Among all the chapters, the maximum number of questions asked in KCET examination in the previous five years are from Class 12 Maths chapters – Integrals (32 questions) and Matrices and Determinants (30 questions). As you can see, the weightage of Trigonometry is only 5.33%. Don’t skip this topic because formulas of trigonometry are very important to study Calculus. Another very important unit is Algebra because the weightage of Algebra is 41.67%. Matrices and Determinants are a part of this unit and with a weightage of 11%.

Preparation tips for KCET

KCET Physics preparation tips

• Begin with understanding the basic concepts from NCERT. Physics is all about logic and concepts. Physics is feared by a lot of KCET aspirants because the subject can get tougher when the questions are conceptual.

• Physics is heavily based on problem solving. Solve a variety of questions from NCERT and reference books.

• The more you practise numerical and analyse your mistakes, the better for you.

KCET Chemistry preparation tips

• For Physical Chemistry, study from NCERT. Solve problems from NCERT Chemistry book and NCERT Exemplar.

• In Organic Chemistry, you need to study all the reaction mechanisms and remember all the named reactions.

• Inorganic Chemistry involves a lot of memorising. Study NCERT properly.

• Prepare your own notes because they are very important for revision.

KCET Mathematics preparation tips

• Mathematics requires a lot of concentration and hardwork.

• Practice is key for Mathematics. Solve as many questions as you can. Practise subjective questions too because it helps in clearing concepts which are straight away used in objectives.

• Attempt all the questions of NCERT and then NCERT Exemplar.

• In objective questions, sometimes the options are close enough, so give special attention to calculations.
