Hey aspirant,

Chemistry section is partly difficult and partly easier than JEE 's Chemistry syllabus.

There are certain topics that comes in KVPY Chemistry part which are not in JEE MAINS Syllabus , like Miller Indices of Solid State. So, you need to study few extra topics other than the JEE syllabus.

On the other hand, questions from organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry which are asked in KVPY are even simpler than those asked in JEE Mains.

It can be said that KVPY exam is overall tougher than JEE Mains as it involves harder concepts and more brain teasing questions. But of compared to JEE Advanced, then JEE Advanced is surely the toughest as it involves lengthy and high standard questions that many students even fail to understand at times.

Hope this helps,

All the best!

Dear Aspirant,

The chemistry section of KVPY is somewhat harder than JEE Mains chemistry. The one reason for this is,  that the KVPY also tends to ask questions from those parts of chemistry which are not a part of JEE syllabus (like, Miller indices of solid state).

And also, not all the questions are hard but some question of KVPY chemistry are even more simpler than JEE Mains. The best method to prepare for KVPY is that you must solve previous year question papers and also complete the JEE Mains syllabus.

Hope this helps.
