Hello Monika,

I regret to inform you that, in your first year of college, you are not eligible to enroll in the KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) SB track.

Students enrolled in their first year of undergraduate (B.Sc., B.S., B.Stat., B.Math., Intern M.Sc., or M.S.) courses are the only ones eligible for the KVPY SB stream. Nonetheless, there are a few crucial things to remember:

Qualifications for the KVPY SB Stream-
1) You have to be enrolled in the first year of an undergraduate program leading to a B.Sc. or its equivalent.
2) In your 12th grade board exams, you should have received at least 60% (or 50% for SC, ST, and PWD) (or equivalent).
3) Science courses like physics, chemistry, biology, or mathematics should be included in the subject combination.

Timeline for Applications-
1) Only after being accepted into your undergraduate program may you apply for KVPY SB.
2) Usually, the KVPY exam is administered during your first year in college. Since the SB stream is only available to first-year students, you would not be eligible if you were in your second or third year.

Important points-
1) You should be able to apply for the KVPY SB stream during the application period if you are a first-year undergraduate student enrolled in a program like the B.Sc.
2) You must apply for the KVPY SX stream, which is intended for first-year undergraduates and students in the 12th grade, if you are in your second year of undergraduate study.
3) Date of the KVPY Exam: The KVPY exam normally takes place in November, and the application process usually commences in July.
4) The eligibility requirements may vary from year to year, so be sure to visit the official KVPY website for the most recent information on eligibility, revisions, and exam dates.
