The Karnataka Common Entrance Test(KCET) 2024 will be conducted on the 18th and 19th April 2024. The Kannada Language Test will be conducted on the 20th of April 2024. As the exam date is near, the students have to focus on completing the entire syllabus. The important topics in each subject can help the students achieve the maximum score in the KCET exam 2024.

The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is a state-level entrance examination conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) once a year. This test acts as a gateway for the students entering into the undergraduate courses offered by the various institutions or colleges across the state.

KCET Important Topics:

Knowing the important topics for every subject will help the students score the maximum marks in the KCET 2024 examination. The main topics from every subject are as follows:

Physics Important Topics:

The candidates can first focus on Physics due to its importance and weightage and the candidates can complete the syllabus in a short time comparatively.

Here are some important topics in Physics:

  • Motion in a Plane
  • Work, Power, and Energy
  • Moving Charges and Magnetism
  • Rotational Motion
  • Current Electricity
  • Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
  • Alternating Current
  • Semi-Conductor Electronics

Chemistry Important Topics

After completing Physics, the candidate can go for Chemistry. In the preference order, chemistry has the weightage after physics compared to Mathematics. 

Here are some important topics in Chemistry:

  • Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
  • Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers
  • d & f – block elements
  • Electrochemistry
  • Chemical Kinetics
  • Aldehydes, Ketones, and Carboxylic Acids
  • Organic Chemistry – some basic principles and techniques
  • Coordination Compounds
  • Biomolecules
