KCET Chemistry exam 2024 was conducted on 19th April, candidates who appeared for the exam felt the paper was moderate and found few theory-based questions in the paper.
Candidates can find the unofficial answer key released by the subject experts and training institutions. Also, note that candidates should consider this for reference purposes. The final key is yet to be released by the KEA
