Hello,

KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) is a national level program for scholarships.

The eligibility criteria of KVPY 2021 is based on nationality, that is, only indians are eligible on first note.

Coming to the streams, there are 3 streams under KVPY exam which are SA, SX and SB which are based on your current educational level. Since you have mentioned 12th pass students, then SX is the stream. 12th pass students who get 60% in their board (general) and 50% for sc/sc are eligible for KVPY exam. And the condition for attempting KVPY sx after 12th is that the student should be pursuing basic science.

Thank you, Hope it helps.
