Students heaved a sigh of relief as the Common Entrance Test (CET) came to an end on Wednesday with physics and chemistry papers. The Kannada exam for Horanadu and Gadinadu students was also held on the same day.
While 97.45 per cent of those who registered took the physics exam, 97.44 per cent attended the chemistry exam.
Students termed the physics paper as “moderate” and chemistry paper as “tough”. Coaching centres pointed out errors in the physics paper, among which was one question with insufficient data (no.6 version A4) and another with wrong data (no.52 version A4).
They also said options for question 49 were “ambiguous”, question 11 was “incomplete and wrongly framed”, and the options were incorrect in question 54. Nagesh Vinay, a student of Jain College V.V. Puram, said, “Chemistry paper was the most difficult, but slightly easy when compared to last year.”
Although medicine and engineering took the pie as far as preferences were concerned this year, courses such as Indian System of Medicine and Homoeopathy (ISMH) and farm sciences had some takers too.
Kalpana B., a student of Surana-Deeksha, said, “I want to pursue veterinary science or Ayurveda. I’m happy that I can get into these courses through CET. Everyone chooses engineering or mainstream medicine. But, I love animals and want to follow my heart. If I fail to get into either of my choices, I wouldn’t mind studying agriculture,” he said.
