2nd PUC Physics Blueprint Karnataka Board
2nd PUC Physics is an exam of total 70 marks and 3 hours 15 minutes duration for each question paper. To get an idea about the weightage of the distribution of marks over different dimensions of the question paper like the objective, units/ chapters, forms of questions, level of difficulty and so on, students can refer to the Physics Blueprint below:.
A. 2nd PUC Physics Blueprint Weightage to Objectives:
| Objective | Weightage | Marks |
| Knowledge | 40% | 43/105 |
| Understanding | 30% | 31/105 |
| Application | 20% | 21/105 |
| Skill | 10% | 10/105 |
Questions are asked from the 15 chapters under the 10 units of the textbook. From the below image it is evident that most marks are allotted to the 3rd chapter, Current Electricity.
