Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana is a prestigious scholarship program to scout and nurture young talent. It is conducted by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. KVPY 2019 is going to be conducted on 3rd November 2019.
As the days of the exam draw near, these KVPY study tips compiled by askIITians achievers will prove to be immensely helpful to you:
Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana tests students at three levels:
KVPY SA exam is conducted for Class XI students,
KVPY SX exam is conducted for Class XII students, and
KVPY SB exam is conducted for first-year students of B.Sc., B.S., Integrated 5-year M.Sc, or Integrated 5-year M.S. programmes.
KVPY SA exam will have single paper with objective-type multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Duration of the paper is 3 hours.
The paper will have negative marking – ¼ marks awarded to the question will be deducted from the total score if the answer is wrong. It means 0.25 mark will be deducted for the wrong answer in Part 1 and 0.5 mark will be deducted for incorrect answer in Part 2.
Like the SA exam, both KVPY SB exam and KVPY SX exam will also have single paper with objective-type multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and duration of 3 hours.
The only difference is that at this level, students can choose to answer questions of any three subjects (out of four available) in Part 1 of the question paper and any two subjects (out of four available) in Part 2 of the question paper.
There is negative marking here too –0.25 mark will be deducted for wrong answer in Paper 1, and 0.5 mark will be deducted for wrong answer in Part 2.
There is no prescribed syllabus for the KVPY written exam and the emphasis is on evaluating the candidates on their conceptual understanding and analytical ability rather than their factual knowledge.
However, for guidance purposes, your study should consist of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics syllabus that you have studied till Class X for SA exam, till Class XII for SX exam and till 1st year of your B.Sc., B.S., B.stat., B.Math., Integrated M.Sc. or Integrated M.S. programmes as applicable.
Since the CBSE Board is most popular school board in India, you might consider covering CBSE syllabus up to Class X or XII as applicable.
There are no important topics as such in the exam and it is difficult to assign weightage to different topics asked in the exam. But you must solve previous-year KVPY papers to get an idea of what type of questions are asked in the exam.
NCERT books are best books for KVPY preparation. Besides school books, you can use following books for reference:
P Bahadur for Physical Chemistry
Solomons for Organic Chemistry
O.P Tandon for Inorganic Chemistry
H. C Verma Vol 1 & 2
I E Irodov
R S Agarwal
S L Loney
