Here are some Do’s and Don’ts for preparing for the KCET & COMEDK 2026 exams:

Do’s:

 Understand the Syllabus & Exam Pattern – Focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology. KCET also includes Kannada for specific categories.
 Follow a Timetable – Allocate fixed study hours for each subject daily. Ensure revision time is included.
 Use Standard Study Materials – NCERT books are crucial. Use additional reference books like HC Verma (Physics), O.P. Tandon (Chemistry), and R.D. Sharma (Maths).
 Solve Previous Year Papers – Practice at least 10 years’ worth of question papers to understand question trends.
 Attempt Mock Tests Regularly – Take full-length mock tests and analyze mistakes to improve time management.
 Make Concise Notes – Write down important formulas, reactions, and shortcuts for quick revision.
 Stay Healthy – Maintain a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and exercise to stay focused and stress-free.
 Clarify Doubts – Seek help from teachers or online forums whenever in doubt rather than postponing.

Don’ts:

 Avoid Last-Minute Learning – Don’t try to cram new topics in the final days. Instead, revise what you have already studied.
 Don’t Rely Solely on Rote Learning – KCET & COMEDK require conceptual understanding, so focus on why and how concepts work.
 Skipping NCERT Books – Most questions in KCET are NCERT-based, so don’t ignore them.
 Procrastination – Don’t keep postponing difficult topics. Tackle them early in your preparation.
 Ignoring Time Management in Exams – Practice answering questions under time constraints to avoid missing out on easy marks.
 Not Revising Regularly – If you don’t revise, you will forget concepts. Revise at least once a week.
 Being Overconfident or Stressed – Stay balanced; don’t underestimate topics or panic before the exam.

Following these guidelines will help you stay on track and maximize your KCET & COMEDK 2026 performance.

Best of luck!
