April 29th KEAM 2025 Exam Analysis
Here are some of the student reviews of KEAM 2025, April 29th:
Aarav Menon (from Ernakulam):
“I found the KEAM Engineering exam quite easy overall. Physics had mostly direct, formula-based questions, and Chemistry was very NCERT-centric, especially from topics like Chemical Bonding and Solutions. Mathematics was a bit lengthy in parts, especially questions from Calculus and Coordinate Geometry, but nothing too challenging. I even had enough time to recheck a few answers.”
Sahana Reddy (from Thrissur):
“The paper was easier than most of my mock tests. Chemistry was quick to finish with straightforward questions from the p-block and Organic Chemistry. Physics had clearly framed questions from Work, Energy & Power and Current Electricity. Maths took a bit more time, particularly due to some tricky problems in Matrices and Probability, but it was manageable if you stayed focused. Overall, it felt like a smooth experience.”
Devraj (from Kollam):
“Honestly, the exam felt very doable. I finished Chemistry quickly — many questions matched what we had practised, especially in Equilibrium and Metallurgy. Physics had a few conceptual but manageable problems from Gravitation and Thermodynamics. Maths was surprisingly better than expected — even though Vectors and 3d Geometry took some time, the questions were not too tough. Overall, it was a balanced paper.”
