JOIN USStudents were pleased with the Physics and Chemistry paper of the Karnataka Common Entrance Test, held on Wednesday.
“The Physics paper was of moderate difficulty. Anyone who had prepared could easily solve the questions,” said Deepika S, who wrote her exam in Malleswaram.
Another student, Prashchet said “The Chemistry paper was almost entirely theory-based. There were only one or two problems to be solved. Even the Physics paper was easier than last year’s.” Of the 1,85,418 students enrolled, about 1,80,512 students (97.35%) appeared for the Physics paper and 1,80,606 students (97.40%) appeared for the Chemistry exam. The Chemistry paper reportedly had one spelling mistake where ‘hair conditioner’ was spelt as ‘air conditioner’.
An analysis by BASE said that the Physics questions were spread out amongst all prescribed topics. “Thirty per cent of the questions were numerical, 20% analytical and 50% memory-based,” the analysis said.
The Chemistry paper was relatively easy with a high proportion of memory-based questions. Horanadu and Gadinadu Kannadiga candidates will be appearing for the 50-mark Kannada language test on Thursday, in the city.
