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!
