KCET Physics Syllabus 2024: Physics is one of the four sections of the paper, consisting of topics from class 11th (PUC 1) and class 12th (PUC 12). Karnataka Examination Authority shall release the KCET Physics syllabus on its official website.
If you have opted KCET Physics subject, you can check here the complete syllabus mentioned in this article. KCET Physics syllabus primarily focuses on the Physical World, Units and Measurement, Motion in a Plane, Motion in a Straight Line, Waves, Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory and more. These topics are further subdivided into several topics. KCET Physics Topics and Sub-topics
During the initial stage of preparation, your focus should be more on Gravitation, Motion in a Straight Line, Osscilation, Matter and Magnetism, Alternating Current, and Electromagnetic Induction. As per the previous years analysis of the exam, around 6-8 topics were asked from each of these.
The physics section of the KCET Exam Pattern consists of 60 questions, one mark each with no negative marking present. Total duration of 70 minutes would be given to attempt the Physics section.
- KEA, the conducting authority, had revised KCET Syllabus in 2021 which has led to a 30% reduction in the syllabus as compared to previous years.

KCET Physics Preparation Tips 2024
Candidates should follow the below preparation tips before appearing in KCET 2024. Some of the preparation tips for the preparation of KCET Physics Syllabus 2024 are mentioned below:
- Follow the Syllabus - KEA had made changes in Physics Syllabus 2021. As a result of which topics such as - Brewster’s Law, Reflection of Light from Spherical Mirrors, Wattless current, Cyclotron, Carbon Resistors and others have been omitted from the syllabus. In order to crack the KCET 2023 exam and save futile efforts, it is very essential for the candidates to understand the syllabus properly. Candidates will soon be intimated regarding updates in KCET Syllabus.
- Getting Familiar with the Exam Pattern -. Physics is a bit difficult subject from Mathematics or Biology in the sense that it contains - Numerical, Theory and diagrams. all together. Thus It is very necessary for the candidates to know the exam pattern, type of questions, marking scheme, exam mode, duration, before appearing at the entrance exam.These details can be obtained from the KCET 2024 Exam Pattern
- Follow a proper Time Table for Topics - Following a proper timetable is necessary for the aspirants to crack the KCET 2023 exam. The timetable should be realistic and followed regularly to get success in the exam. Topics such as - Oscillations, Thermodynamics, Mechanical properties of fluids, Alternating Current and other may take more time to comprehend and master than other topics, thus provisions for longer study and revision of them should be accommodated into the time table.
- Practise regularly and attempt mock tests - KCET Physics session consists of 60 questions to be attempted in 70 minutes, leaving the time aside for filling out details in the OMR sheets, one basically gets 1 minute for 1 Question. As such the candidate should be quick on calculations as well as have basic time management skills. There are no shortcuts for learning these skills, candidate’s speed can only be raised by practise and the time management skill can only be learned by giving mock exams or attempting sample papers
