Exam Pattern
- KCET 2023 will be conducted in an offline centre-based mode, which means candidates will have to appear for the exam at the selected exam centres.
- The exam consists of four parts: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology and Kannada (if the candidate has opted for it).
- Physics and Chemistry section will have 60 questions each and Mathematics/Biology section will also have 60 questions depending on the stream chosen by the candidate.
- The duration of each part is 80 minutes, which allows candidates to allocate time efficiently to each topic.
- It is important that candidates manage their time wisely so that they can attempt to answer all the questions in the allotted time.
- There is also a separate section for Kannada which is an optional subject. There will be 50 questions in this section and candidates who have opted for Kannada will be given 60 minutes to complete this section.
- It is important to note that the Kannada section is applicable only to those candidates who have studied Kannada in the qualifying examination.
- To excel in the KCET 2023 exam, candidates must prepare a well-structured syllabus that enables them to clear all the subjects from the prescribed syllabus. They should focus on understanding the basic concepts of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology and practice solving various questions to improve their problem-solving skills.
