KCET Chapter-wise Weightage 2024 for Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology has been discussed here in detail. The important topics for KCET 2024 provided here are based on an analysis of the past few years' question papers. 

Before you know the important chapters for KCET 2024, you should be aware of KCET syllabus first. As per KEA, the syllabus is based on PUC I and PUC II as framed by the Department of Pre-University Education of Karnataka State. An overview of important chapters for KCET 2024 Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology are mentioned below:

  • Chapters with maximum weightage in Physics are Gravitation, Motion in a Straight Line, Oscillations and Thermodynamics as these carry 7% to 8% weightage.
  • Important chapters for KCET Maths include Integration, Vectors, Permutation and Combination, and 3-D Geometry. These topics weigh around 6% to 7% in the exam.
  • From KCET Chemistry syllabus, your focus should be on Coordination Compounds, Aldehydes and Ketones, Chemical Kinetics, Electrochemistry and more.
  • Important chapters to cover from KCET Biology subject are Neural Control and Co-ordination, Photosynthesis in Higher Plants, Respiration in Plants, and Human Reproduction.

You can also go through the KCET previous years’ question paper to know the most asked topics. In Addition to this, check the pattern of the exam to know its marking scheme, duration, total marks, so that you can prepare accordingly.
