Hi Shruti, Welcome to the community.

For KVPY SA aspirants, the KVPY syllabus includes concepts of Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Biology till Class 11. KVPY SA aspirants have to attempt all 4 subjects questions. Since there is no unit and topic based prescribed syllabus for KVPY SA stream, aspirants can study from NCERT books and JEE/NEET coaching material (class 11 topics only).

If your basic concepts are strong till class 10, then it will help you a lot in KVPY SA examination.

Tips to prepare for the KVPY exam in the remaining months.

  • Just like JEE Advanced, you need to have strong concepts understanding to perform well in KVPY exam. You need to practice the questions well.
  • Study all the concepts and topics thoroughly. Make notes of each and every topic. Practice conceptual questions from Physics. Make sure you remember class 11 concepts clearly.
  • The KVPY exam has enough time to solve fewer questions. Maintain accuracy and avoid negative marking.
  • Make notes of important terms, formulas, reactions, mistakes while solving problems, etc. Include your own shortcuts and tricks. Keep revising what you learn during the preparation.
  • Solve previous year papers to practice the type of questions you can expect in the KVPY examination. Check the paper pattern and marking scheme to prepare well for the exam.
  • Practice online mock tests of KVPY. Find your weak links and silly mistakes and work on them. The goal is to improve with each test.
  • Try to join a dedicated KVPY online course which focuses on completing KVPY syllabus before the examination.
  • Be positive and don’t panic. Make sure you understand concepts properly and practice KVPY level questions.
