Hello Aspirant,

See there are three categories of KVPY examination SA, SX and SB category for class 11th, 12th and UG students respectively.

So if you are currently studying in class 12th then you can appear for SX category KVPY and can avail scholarship for further studies in the field of science and research.

To be eligible for availing scholarship through SX category you need to fulfil the prerequisites which are mentioned below  :-

** Currently you should be studying in class 12th mandatorily with basic science courses.

** In class 10th you must have secured 75% aggregate marks in Mathematics and Science subjects if you belongs to General category otherwise you need 65%.

** In class 12th you should secure 60% aggregate marks in all subjects if you belongs to General category otherwise you need 50%.

For more details kindly check out the links given below :-

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!

Dear student,

KVPY is a scholarship program, conducted by Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. It was started by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India , to identify the highly motivated and talented students and encourage them to take up research careers in Basic Science.

In KVPY, there are three category of exam, SA, SB and SX. SA is for those students who are in class 11th, SX is for those who are in class 12th and SB is for those who are in first year of any undergraduate program.

Here I am mentioning the syllabus for each exams.

SA stream Syllabus:-

• Mathematics- Introduction to Trigonometry, Geometry, Coordinate Geometry, Statistics, Quadratic Equations, Mathematical Reasoning, Statistics and Probability, Real Number, Polynomials, Probability, Surface Areas & Volumes,, Trigonometric Functions
• Biology- Control and Coordination in Animals and Plants, Heredity and Evolution, Reproduction, Life Processes, Our environment, Plant Physiology, Diversity of Living Organisms, Cell: Structure and Function, Human Physiology.
• Chemistry- Chemical Reactions, Metals and Non-Metals, Periodic Classification of Elements, Carbon Compounds, Acids, Bases and Salts, Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Thermodynamics, States of Matter: Gases and Liquids, Classification of Elements & Periodicity in Properties, Environmental Chemistry.
• Physics- Magnetic Effects of Current, Sources of Energy, Reflection, Refraction, Electromagnetic Induction, Applications in Daily Life, Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy and Power, Physical World and Measurement, Gravitation, Thermodynamics.

SB/SX stream Syllabus:-

Hi Aspirant,

Yes, a student who has passed SSLC(i.e., class 10) and have been admitted to PU 1(i.e., class 11) can apply for Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY). You can apply under stream SA.  Students who have passed 10th Standard Board Examination and eligible to enroll in 12th standard (Science subjects) during the academic year 2021-22, are eligible to appear for Aptitude test of KVPY. Eligibility suggests that the minimum marks of candidates  passing class 10th with Mathematics & Science subjects with 75% (65% for SC/ST/PWD).

Hey ,

KVPY is the entrance test for getting into IISc , IISERs that are extremely reputed institutes. A score of 5.5 in the KVPY exam is unfortunately not enough to get selected for the interview. There are 3 streams , i.e, SA,SB,SX for different categories. SA is for 11th grade , SX for 12th and SB for first year undergraduation. However the cutoff through any category and stream isnt sufficient.

Hello Aspirant,

The Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojna (KVPY) is a national program funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. It is organised by the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) to attract students who aim to pursue basic science courses and research careers in science. Students enrolled in grade 11 (Stream SA), grade 12 - science subjects (Stream X) and 1st-year undergraduate programs like B.Sc/B.Stat/B.Math, etc. (Stream SB) are eligible for the exam.

The syllabus for the different streams are:

Stream SA: covers all topics and chapters of class 10 and 11.

Stream SX: covers all topics and chapters of class 10, 11 and 12.

Stream SB: covers all topics and chapters of class 10, 11 and 12 along with

the syllabus of the 1st-year UG course.

As you must have noticed the syllabus of Stream SA and SX are similar to the syllabus of JEE Main and other competitive exams necessary for a B. Tech degree. So, if you are aiming to give one of these competitive exams, there is no harm in giving KVPY a try as well. This will help you understand where you stand in the process of preparation for the competitive exams and also help you understand the difficulty level of the questions appearing in the exam, thereby, enhancing your chances of getting into a good college to acquire your B. Tech degree.

After all, Practice makes Perfect.

Hope you found this to be useful.

Good luck!

HI Shubham!

KVPY exam is for the admission in IISc, IISER, IIITs and CVCE with Fellowship during basic science Studies and Free Entry to all National Libraries in India. Also, there are various streams under KVPY, but SA stream is for students who are currently pursuing 11th class.

But with KVPY you can cannot get admission in IIT. To get admission in IIT a candidate have to first qualify JEE MAINS and then JEE Advanced. JEE MAINS is conducted for 4 times a year and JEE ADVANCED is conducted once a year. You can check it out here:

Thankyou!

Yeah definitely like, there is hardly any relation between KVPY and your studying Engineering. Ive seen my classmates from school/coaching failing to clear JEE Advanced in spite of an excellent performance in KVPY, while Ive seen my batchmates at IIT KGP, studying at IIT despite failing at KVPY.

Of course, KVPY does give a boost to your Resume as well as increases you confidence for preparation. Doesnt mean you wont clear Engineering Entrance exams, if you fail at KVPY.

Perhaps focus on completing the JEE Syllabus well before JEE Mains next Year, take a proper Test Series and make you preparation more of a strategy than blunt hardwork.

Yeah, at the same time Target Other Good Entrance Exams like BITSAT and COMEDK besides JEE.
