High-weightage areas included Calculus (Differentiation/Integration), Algebra (Matrices, Determinants, Quadratic Equations), Probability, and Coordinate Geometry.

The KCET 2026 Chemistry paper was overall moderate to difficult level. Many students found it tougher to 2025/2024 session, some even compared it to JEE Main. The paper shifted more towards statement-based and assertion-reasoning questions. The paper was less formula-based and more conceptual. A high volume of questions were from the I PUC (Class 11) syllabus. There were questions from Organic Chemistry alongside Physical Chemistry which were considered time-consuming. A score of 40-50 is considered decent, while 50+ is excellent.

It was tougher than last year, with approximately 75% from Second PUC and 25% from First PUC syllabus. Contrary to previous years, there were fewer, long-form calculations and more reliance on deep, conceptual, and theoretical understanding. Questions were from Mechanics, Electrodynamics (Current Electricity & Magnetism), Modern Physics, and Optics. Due to the difficulty, overall cutoffs in Physics might be affected, say.
