Hello.

KCET isn't as challenging as the Jee, so if you have prepared for the Jee mains, you can score well in the exam. Get thorough with your NCERT books, KCET is more focused on the speed with which a candidate solves questions, so practice ample amount of question papers so that you can attempt maximum number of questions. There is no specific books which can help you with your exam, just keep solving question papers and get thorough with your concepts

Good luck!

Hey Karthik,

If you are preparing for KCET then you need to have a proper material by your side and a proper plan to get good result.

Few tips which I can give you for better preparation are:

• Understand the syllabus well and try to stick with the one best material you get rather than referring to many materials.
• Focus on the important aspects of every subject and try to complete each topic within a planned time.
• Do work on your weaker areas and keep practicing mock test papers and previous year papers to have a proper idea of how the exam pattern will be.

Hope this answers your question.

All The Best And Do Well:D
