Hii,

Sorry to inform you that you are not eligible for KVPY exam. As per KVPY Eligibility criteria, if you enrolled in 1st year of UG program in basic science then you are eligible for KVPY exam. As you mentioned, you are dropper so you are not eligible for the same. 

Hope it helps...

Hii Gajendran,

No you can't give as it will not be useful apart from testing your knowledge.If you take admissions in Under graduate program through basic science than you can apply under SB Stream.

But in drop year you can give kvpy for checking your jee preparation or knowledge.

Thankyou

Hello dear student,
Greetings,
No you are not eligible for kvpy exam as After 12th, only 1st year students doing their UG in basic science, given that they have secured 60% marks in class12 for general category, and 50% for reserved category students (SC/ST/PWD).
thankyou

Hello,

Well, sorry but 'no' you are not elligible for KVPY now. It is for the students who are enrolled in 11th class or in 12th class and the students who are pursuing their 1st year in any of the Bachelor in Science get the last chance. There is no such fellowship for dropper students.

The students enrolled in 11th standard can apply from SA. The students in 12th standard can apply under SB and the students from 1st year graduation may apply from SX.


For any further information you may ask on this platform. 


Thank you.

Hi Aspirant,

IT seems you are dedicatedly taking the exam since past years. Let me tell you, the eligibility criteria of the KVPY exam says that only the students studying in standard 11th and 12th along with first year BSc students can take KVPY exam. The droppers are not eligible to take the exam. 

Good Luck!!

If you took a drop without taking admission as an undergraduate anywhere, then you are not eligible for KVPY. They require that
Stream SB: Students enrolled in the 1st year of undergraduate program in Basic Sciences namely Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics & Biology leading to B.Sc./B.S./B.Stat./B.Math./Int. M.Sc./Int. M.S. during the academic year
