KCET 2026 Predictor & Analysis

Calculate your expected rank with 50:50 weighting and trend adjustments (paper difficulty + competition), plus question patterns analyzed from the last 10 years.

📊 Rank Predictor

12th Board PCM Marks (Out of 100)

Expected KCET Marks (Out of 60)

Trend Factors (Web Analysis Inputs)

ℹī¸ How it Works

The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) determines KCET engineering ranks by taking 50% weightage from the KCET marks (out of 180 in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and 50% weightage from your 2nd PUC / 12th Board marks in the same three subjects.

This predictor also adjusts for year-to-year movement by considering paper difficulty, candidate growth, and reappearing-candidate pressure reported in recent trend analysis.

đŸŽ¯ 2026 Mock Questions (5-Year Analysis)

We analyzed past KCET papers (2016 - 2025) to identify the most repeated patterns and concepts. Here are expected high-probability questions for 2026.

PhysicsRay Optics

Q1. Two lenses of power +10 D and -5 D are placed in contact. The focal length of the combination is:

10 cm
20 cm
-20 cm
-10 cm
Correct Answer: 20 cm
Trend Analysis: Highly repeated concept (2021, 2023). Power combination P = P1 + P2. Focus on lens combination formulas.
ChemistryChemical Kinetics

Q2. For a first-order reaction, if the rate constant is k, the time required for 99% completion is approximately:

2.303/k
4.606/k
6.909/k
0.693/k
Correct Answer: 4.606/k
Trend Analysis: Appeared in 4 of the last 5 years. Direct application of t = (2.303/k) * log(100/1).
MathematicsMatrices & Determinants

Q3. If A is a square matrix of order 3 such that |A| = 4, then |adj(A)| is equal to:

4
16
64
8
Correct Answer: 16
Trend Analysis: Standard property-based question. |adj(A)| = |A|^(n-1). Very frequent in KCET (2022, 2024).
