WHAT IS KVPY ?
The Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY)
is an on-going National Program of Fellowship in Basic Sciences, initiated and
funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to promote and
encourage highly driven students to opt for research careers in basic science
courses.
The objective of the program is to identify
students with talent and aptitude for research; help them realize their
academic potential; encourage them to take up research careers in Science, and
ensure the growth of the best scientific minds for research and development in
the country.
WHY TO GIVE KVPY EXAM ?
1.
The most
important advantage of the exam is that, it is a national level competitive
exam where a number of students give the exam, a true competition exists
between the students and will definitely give a open opportunity to each and
every student to show his/her talent.
2.
If you
are a science enthusiastic and wants to pursue your career in science, you can
study in India’s top institute i.e. IISc, by clearing KVPY
(SA) with good rank in class 11 itself.
3.
The badge of being a KVPY Scholar is a
prestigious one and it provides direct admission to top institutes like IISc and the various IISERs. You can also get admission
into IIIT-Hyderabad,
which is considered as one of the best institute for computer science.
4.
After clearing KVPY, you will receive
scholarship (monthly and yearly) during your basic science course (3 year or 5
Year integrated course). The details of exact scholarship amount is given below
in next section.
5.
For JEE aspirants, the KVPY exam is a
good opportunity to test concepts understanding and application of logic, which
is required to clear JEE Main and JEE Advanced. NEET aspirants can test their
PCB concepts through KVPY exam.
6.
You will have less pressure of class
12 board or JEE/NEET preparation. You will know that you are already qualified
to study in top Indian institutes.
7.
KVPY is a tough exam (difficult than
JEE Main). Being called as a KVPY fellow (scholar) speaks volume of your
ability and hardwork.
8.
A KVPY scholar is allowed free entry
to all National libraries in the country! You will be able to attend all
science camps.
9. Having qualified and attending interview at
such a young age is going to help you in future, irrespective of whether you
are selected for KVPY fellowship or not.

SUBJECT-WISE
PREPARATION PLAN -
Solving skills and concept clarity are needed to crack
KVPY. It is imperative that you concentrate on each subject and prepare a time
table around it.
• Physics: This section is usually tough in KVPY. Lots
of questions are asked from Optics and Resistor Series. Even in SA, few
questions are asked from class 12 syllabus such as Lens Maker’s Formula and
Kirchhoff’s rules. If physics is your strong point, you will have an advantage
over others.
• Chemistry: It is easier when compared to physics.
Amongst PCM, this section will take the least amount of your time. For SA,
revise simple reactions from class 10 too. Most of the questions are reaction
or property based, very few questions will be numerical based. You’re expected
to have a thorough knowledge of chemical bonding, organic and physical
chemistry.
• Mathematics: KVPY math is of moderate to tough
difficulty level. You must prepare very well for it. Build upon your basics of
class 10 for SA. For SX, you need a complete preparation of class 11 and 12
portions. Substitution and trial and error methods also works for this subject
but might take up a lot of your time.
• Biology: Bio is considered the easiest section in
KVPY. It is highly scoring. If you are a PCM student, you will not be able to
find time for class 11 or 12 biology. But the good news is that if you go
through class 9 and 10 biology, you will clear this section.
