KCET is a highly competitive exam. Lakhs of children take up the exam every year. Without proper preparation and planning, it is hard to crack the exam. Two years of hard work will definitely get you a good score. However, if you are thorough with your 10+2/PU portions, a good crash course is all you need. Before time runs out, make a decision at the earliest.
