KCET Mathematics Syllabus 2024: According to the recent updates released by Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), KCET maths syllabus 2204 is based on the syllabus of PUC-I and PUC-II which is framed by Department of Pre-University Education of Karnataka. 

PUC I and PUC II Mathematics syllabus was reduced by 30% in 2021. Since then KEA has been framing questions for KCET exam based on the reduced syllabus. 

Also Check:

In KCET Maths, deleted portions are Difference of Sets, Polar Representation of Complex Numbers, Formulas for Special Sums and more. Some chapters like Mathematics Reasoning, Conic Sections, and Binomial Theoram were deleted entirely. Now, as per KCET Maths Analysis, you major focus should be on tooics like Calculas, Sets, Integration, Vectors, Probability, and Permutation and Combination. Around 6-7 questions are asked from these chapters every year.

KCET Mathematics 2024 Preparation Tips 

KCET Mathematics section is generally considered to be lengthy as per the students. Therefore, quick tricks and tips are necessary for better results.

  • The use of the factorization formula would be quite helpful in solving complex trigonometric equations. 
  • For coordinate geometry, drawing graphs could be fruitful enough for predicting the answers based on the given statements/equations.
  • Similarly, for matrices, a method of adjoining first or transposing or square other operation first could be used. 
  • Another most important strategy for KCET Preparation is practicing and solving as many questions as possible, especially from the previous year’s questions. 
  • Regular practicing would improve the student’s time management skills.
  • A good amount of mock tests should be solved to understand the variety of the questions and hence, it will also boost confidence.
  • Apart from these, making a timetable with both short-term and long-term goals is of utmost importance. Time table shall be individual specific with reasonable time divisions including revision and solving questions. Sticking to the timetable is another important thing.
