Dear,

The eligibility criteria of KVPY mentions that the students who have enrolled in Class 11 admission with Science subjects during the year 2021-22 are eligible for KVPY SA stream. According to KVPY 2021 eligibility criteria, he/she must have secured a minimum of 75% (65% for SC/ST/PWD) marks in maths and science subjects in class 10 exams. So a student without maths in 11th and 12th can give the KVPY exam.

Hope this helps!

Hello, Arya. The KVPY Fellowships are given to Indian Nationals to Study in India. In this exam a candidate will be categorized among any one of the 3 streams: SA, SB, SX.

  • If you are in 12 th standard and have PCB, you will be categorized into SX stream. For SX stream , questions from 10 th (few), 11 th and 12 th standard will be asked. It is important to note that, for both SB/SX streams, 120 questions will be asked, out of which only 80 questions of 100 marks are supposed to be answered. That means, a candidate can skip any one subject among Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology.
  • However, if you are in 11 th Standard now, then you cannot write KVPY if you do not have mathematics as your subject. You will come under SA and for SA stream , all the questions are mandatory to attempt while weightage of Mathematics in overall question paper is 25%.

If you have any more doubts, then you can check out these articles:
