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.
