Hello,



Both the exams patters are very different and depend on the students what they thunk about the paper.
KVPY aptitude test is lower than JEE Mains. Whereas the the maths of KVPY is way more tougher than JEE mains. You can crack KVPY by following NCERT books but on the other hand JEE Mains require somewhat higher level of preparation than NCERT.
One more thing is that Kvpy has an interview round also.

KVPY and JEE test the candidates knowledge on different levels.Only students having a strong base can answer these questions.
The selection rate of KVPY is 1.8% only. KVPY is meant for testing an individuals basics and research aptitude while JEE Main requires more bookish knowledge and formula application skill.

I hope this helps.

KVPY is considered tougher than JEE Mains. KVPY is scholarship programme given by IISc for admission research programme. It nurtures the best minds who are interested in basic sciences. Whereas JEE Mains tests your skills in applying a concept in a particular case. JEE Mains is considered easier as one does not require to have any indepth knowledge of any concepts, just the basic concepts will do. KVPY students also get stipend for their research purposes which makes this exam more competitive and hence a little tougher.

All the best.
