Hello, dear students! Welcome to the Deeksha Karnataka YouTube channel. Today, we’re diving into a detailed analysis of the KCET 2025 Mathematics syllabus. This guide will cover the chapter-wise weightage, important topics, and trends from previous years to help you strategize your preparation effectively. Whether you’re targeting high-weightage chapters or looking to maximize your score, this guide has got you covered.

KCET 2025 Maths Syllabus: Key Highlights

The KCET Mathematics syllabus is divided into PU1 (1st PUC) and PU2 (2nd PUC) topics. The exam typically consists of 60 questions to be solved in 60 minutes, with 45 questions from PU2 and 15 questions from PU1. Understanding the weightage of each chapter is crucial to prioritize your preparation.

High-Weightage Chapters (4-6 Questions)

These chapters are extremely important and can fetch you significant marks. Ensure 100% preparation for these topics:

1. Relations and Functions
   • Simple yet scoring.
   • Both PU1 and PU2 concepts are included.
   • Expect 4-6 marks from this chapter.
2. Determinants
   • Often combined with Matrices.
   • 3-4 mark questions are common.
3. Continuity and Differentiability
   • High-weightage chapter.
   • Questions on definitions of continuity & Differentiability, and differentiation principles are frequent.
4. Application of Derivatives (AOD)
   • Topics like rate of change, increasing/decreasing functions, and maxima/minima are crucial.
   • Expect 4-6 marks.
5. Integrals
   • One of the highest-weightage chapters.
   • Covers definite, indefinite integrals, and methods like integration by parts and partial fractions.
   • 4-6 marks can be expected.
6. 3D Geometry
   • Introduced in PU1 and expanded in PU2.
   • Formula-based questions are common.
   • Expect 4-5 marks.
7. Probability
   • Questions range from simple MCQs to theorem-based problems (e.g., Bayes’ Theorem).
   • 3-4 marks can be expected.

Medium-Weightage Chapters (2-3 Questions)

These chapters are also important but carry slightly less weightage. Focus on understanding concepts and practicing PYQs:

1. Inverse Trigonometric Functions (ITF)
   • Can be asked directly or as part of calculus questions.
2. Matrices
   • Questions on symmetric & skew symmetric matrices, inverses, and definitions are common.
3. Application of Integrals
   • Focus on area under curves for combination of shapes.
4. Differential Equations
   • Includes variable separable methods and linear differential equations.
   • Practice integrating factors and general solutions.
5. Vectors
   • Formula-based chapter.
   • Scoring if formulas are well-practiced.
6. Trigonometry
   • While not a standalone chapter, it’s essential for calculus-based questions.

Low-Weightage Chapters (1 Question)

These chapters typically carry 1 mark but are still important for a complete preparation:

1. Set Theory
   • Simple and scoring.
   • Helps in solving questions from Relations and Functions.
2. Complex Numbers
   • Formula-based questions.
   • Focus on different forms (polar, cartesian & Eulers form) and applications.
3. Linear Inequalities
   • Simple questions on solving inequalities.
4. Permutations and Combinations
   • Useful for Probability and Binomial Theorem.
5. Binomial Theorem
   • Direct questions or applications in series.
6. Sequences and Series
   • Focus on AP, GP, and HP and problems on relation of AM, GM & HM.
7. Straight Lines & Conic Sections
   • Formula-based and straightforward.
8. Statistics
   • Stick to PYQs as questions differ from board exams.
9. Linear Programming
   • Easy and scoring.
   • Practice defining objective functions and feasible regions.

KCET 2025 Paper Pattern

• 60 Questions in 60 Minutes: Speed and accuracy are crucial.
