April 27th KEAM 2025 Exam Analysis
Here are student reviews for the April 27th shift of the KEAM exam:
Nehan (from Kozhikode):
“The exam was very easy. Physics, which usually takes time, was surprisingly quick—I finished it in about 45 minutes. Maths was generally easy too, and Chemistry had some repeated questions from the practice tests. I even had 20 minutes left, which I used to recheck my answers. That definitely helped improve my score.”
Muhammad Aswin (from Kozhikode):
“I found the exam easy. Physics had very simple statements, Chemistry was straightforward, and Maths was manageable if you kept track of time. I expected more numbers in Chemistry, but there weren’t many. Overall, the questions were like the model exams we practised. I feel confident about my performance.”
Hridhya (from Trivandrum):
“The exam felt easy, especially compared to the model exams by Brilliant. In fact, the real exam was easier. Solving tough questions in practice made it easier to stay calm during the actual test. Chemistry was simple if you had read the NCERT properly. Physics had both problems and statement-based questions, but nothing was too time-consuming.”
