KEAM Exam Analysis 2025: April 25th Shift Students Review
Here are student reviews for the April 25th KEAM PCM exam:
Annmariya (from Malappuram):
“I felt the exam was easy. Physics and Chemistry were comparatively okay, but I personally found Maths a bit difficult. The pattern of questions in Physics and Chemistry was similar to what I had practised, so they felt familiar and not tough.”
Sarangi (from Wayanad):
“The exam was sufficiently easy. The question models were similar to those I saw in the live sessions, so they felt very familiar. Chemistry was okay, with basic, NCERT-based questions and theory everywhere.”
Ananya (from Thrissur):
“The exam was sufficiently easy — actually, quite easy. The questions were simpler than those in the mock exams and question series I practised at Brilliant. I noticed there were fewer questions from Organic Chemistry.”
Shivapriya (from Kannur):
“I found Physics and Chemistry to be sufficiently simple. The exam was much easier compared to the ones we usually wrote at Brilliant. Physics questions were mostly theory-based with very few calculations — if the concepts were clear, they were simple to answer.”
Sreelakshmi (from Palakkad):
“The exam was easy overall. Some Physics questions required more thought and were more concept-oriented. In Chemistry, too, a few questions went a bit deeper than usual.”
