Hello,

KVPY Stream SB consists of two parts, first one has 80 questions, in part I any three sections are to be attempted and second part has 40 questions where any two sections are to be attempted, total marks is 160, the exam will be conducted for three hours, in order to commence your preparation first of all be acquainted with the syllabus, you can refer the important topics of

Physics are Mechanics, Ray Optics, Electromagnetism, Waves

Chemistry are Physical Chemistry, Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Chemical Energetics, Organic Chemistry, Stoichiometry and Gaseous State

Biology are Biomolecules, Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Biotechnology

Make a timetable, accordingly assign number of hours for each subject, choose the appropriate study materials, NCERT is the best choice regarding this, apart from it you can also go for other reference books such as

Physics

Fundamentals of Physics by David Halliday

Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker; Concept of Physics by DC Pandey

Tata Mc. Graw Hill’s Book by HC Verma

Chemistry

Moderns ABC of Chemistry for Class – XI With CD by Modern Publishers

NCERT Physical & Organic Chemistry by OP Tandon

Biology

Biological Sciences by Taylor Green and Stout by Cambridge Publications

Elementary Biology (Volume – 1) by K.N. Bhatia

M.P. Tyagi; Publisher: Trueman

Conceptual understanding of topics are highly imperative, as only after this you will be able to solve questions and practice them with ease, hence emphasize on building clarity in the concepts of the topics. Be thorough with the syllabus of 10,11th, 12th,  make short notes if requires, revision is  the key to excel in exam, go through previous year papers a thttps://school.careers360.com/articles/kvpy-sample-papers , apply mock tests on regular basis in order to evaluate your preparation level & improve upon the areas that require the attention.

Greetings!

No! They are not.

NCERT helps you to build concepts, understand the subject when you are studying it for 1st time, for better score in KVPY you must read some peripheral material for physics you have to read H.C. Verma for strengthening your concepts, solve the numericals from it, you may refer D.C. Pandey or any other book which is standerdized for IIT-JEE or Medical entrance exam preparation.

For chemistry, the case is similar to physics, reading organic in detail is more important here, inorganic and physical chemistry is more or less same in all books and is the matter of revision only, but organic chemistry needs some focused solving and practice to master, so better focus on it.

I hope this was helpful. Thank you!

Hello,

KVPY is scheduled to be conducted on 31st January of next year, so there are precisely sixty days left, hence it's essential you start your preparation right now, and yes, with single-minded focus and dedication everything is possible and can be achieved, KVPY Stream SB consists of two parts, first one has 80 questions and second part has 40 questions, total questions are 120,in part I any three sections are to be attempted and in part II any two sections are to be attempted, total marks is 160, the exam will be conducted for three hours, in order to commence your preparation first of all be acquainted with the syllabus, you can refer the important topics of

Physics are Mechanics, Ray Optics, Electromagnetism, Waves

Mathematics are Algebra, Geometry, Basics of Number Theory, Quadratic Equation, Progression and Series, Permutations and Combination, Basic Geometry

Chemistry are Physical Chemistry, Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Chemical Energetics, Organic Chemistry, Stoichiometry and Gaseous State

Biology are Biomolecules, Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Biotechnology

Make a timetable, accordingly assign number of hours for each subject,choose the appropriate study mateials, NCERT is the best choice regarding this, apart from it you can also go for other reference books such as

Physics

• Fundamentals of Physics by David Halliday
• Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker; Concept of Physics by DC Pandey
• Tata Mc. Graw Hill’s Book by HC Verma

Conceptual understanding of topics are highly imperative, as only after this you will be able to solve questions and practice them with ease, hence emphazise on building clarity in the concepts of the topics. Be thorough with the syllabus of 10,11th, 12th,  make short notes if requires, revision is  the key to excel in exam, go through previous year papers at https://school.careers360.com/articles/kvpy-sample-papers , apply mock on regular basis in order to evaluate your preparation level.

If you have a well preparation of NEET or JEE Mains level then you will definitely do well. The key facts for physics is to have a imaginative mind , logical thinking and application of concepts. JEE and NEET both offers more or less logically intricate problems so with that you can solve problems in kvpy quite a lot.

I would also recommend you to have good info about theories so that you can attempt more conceptual problems if any come into the exam. Also practice a lot so that you can coup up the speed as a result your accuracy and speed both will increase.

I hope my answer helps you. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello,

Yes there are mock test for KVPY SB Stream. Students preparing for KVPY fellowship must take the online KVPY mock test SB/SX 2020 series. IISc Bangalore will release the KVPY 2020 mock test for the students to make them acquaint with the computer-based test. The KVPY mock test 2020 will be available in both English and Hindi medium for SA, SB and SX streams respectively. The KVPY exam will be conducted on January 31, 2021.

hi,

Its not important to have the coaching to secure a good score in kvpy exam, however the questions are tricky and need decent concepts on the particular area of physics, mathematics , chemistry etc. so you must analyze the questions of previous years and mark of the most Important parts and also your weak areas of concept.

now a days there is many online tutoring course as well as mock test available. so to secure a good score you must study well and give as much as mock exams.

hope you may understand.

*This is suggested to use some other reference books along with NCERT Books .However, NCERT books are the most preferred for national level competitive exams as these books comprise of topics in easy language which helps to grasp them well.

*But reference books are useful for practicing with various questions related to a topic. So, you should use some reference books and solve previous years KVPY question papers to prepare well.

* And if your target is 90+, I would firstly suggest you to practice previous year question for JEE. Generally physics and chemistry are not so much tough but mathematics is. Chemistry questions mostly comes from NCERT dont worry if you have a clean and clear concept about that,

*Try to score as much possible in the 1 mark problems and then for the 2 marks, choose physics and chemistry unless you are too much confident in maths.

*The main work you need to do, to maximising your score is the time management. And ensure that by the time you appear for the exam you have finished the entire JEE syallabus . Don't worry questions will not be as tough as JEE advance.

Hope it helpful
