If you are in the last week and still preparing for your exam then solving past years’ papers is a must for you. It will give you the whole idea about your exam. First of all give sufficient time to study, make a study schedule and do work according to it. Make sure that you are using flow charts and diagrams for a better understanding. Visual adds can be very helpful especially when you are revising something. It helps you to retain study material more accurately.
Always take regular breaks, as breaks are needed for a better understanding and focus. Focus on the Chemistry part first, as these questions are easy to attempt and fast to solve, then attempt the Physics part, and then go for the Mathematics part. Going in this way helps you to attempt faster than others. Try to solve as many questions as possible. In the last time revise all the notes that are made by you only and not by anyone else. Also, do focus on NCERT part too, as many times many concepts are directly asked from NCERT part. Also, solving NCERT also helps you in your Board exams too which are equally important for you guys.

KCET is the main entrance exam for state quota seats. If you have a good JEE Main score, you can also apply for a management or NRI quota seat, or apply through COMEDK, which is another popular option in Karnataka. Each college may accept a different mix, so check individually.
