<p>Students were pleased with the Physics and Chemistry paper of the Karnataka Common Entrance Test, held on Wednesday. <br /><br />“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. <br /><br />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’. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.</p>
