The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) conducted Physics and Chemistry examinations on the second day of the Common Entrance Test - 2014 across the State on Friday.Among a total of 1,40,461 students who enrolled, 1,39,241 appeared for the Physics test and 1,39,227 students appeared for the Chemistry test.
The Kannada language test for Horanadu and Gadinadu Kannadiga students will be held on May 3, from 11.30 am to 12.30 pm, according to the KEA official press release.
Analysing the Physics question paper, Prof Rathnakar K G of BASE opined that most of the questions were easy and direct.
“The paper lacks intelligent questions that involves a higher order of thinking which were normally asked in the earlier papers,” he said.
He observed that Version C-2, Question No 1 was ambiguous, as none of the given options matched.
As far as Chemistry was concerned, Dr Milind of Ace Creative Learning said the paper was tough when compared to the previous year’s question paper. An average student could score only up to 25 marks, according to his estimate.
“The question paper standard was somewhat equal to JEE (Mains) paper. There were in-depth theory-based questions which students consumed a lot of time solving them and they also felt that the paper was a bit lengthy.
Overall, the Chemistry paper came as a surprise for the students as the level was raised,” he pointed out.
