KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test):

Syllabus: Based on the Karnataka State Board syllabus for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology.

Difficulty: Generally considered moderate to difficult for students who have studied the state board syllabus well.

Competition: High competition among state students for limited government college seats.

VITEEE (VIT Engineering Entrance Exam):

Syllabus: Based on NCERT syllabus, covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English.

Difficulty: Considered moderate but slightly easier than KCET in terms of concepts and level of questions.

Competition: High competition nationwide but for private university seats.

Verdict:

KCET is slightly tougher for those not familiar with the Karnataka board syllabus.

VITEEE is more focused on NCERT concepts, so it may feel a bit easier for students from other states or those well-prepared for national-level exams.

In short, VITEEE might be easier for students outside Karnataka, while KCET can be more difficult for those unfamiliar with the state board syllabus.
