What are very important topics and chapters of kvpy sa exam? How to prepare for it and how to tackle biology as I am pcm student?

Hey Gaurav !

KVPY SA exam being conducted in Class 11 still incorporates a better syllabus as compared to KVPY SX which takes in through both Class 11 and 12.

Now, coming to your question, KVPY is such an exam where the question paper doesn't check your intelligence or expertise at the subject, rather it evaluates your aptitude and thinking ability to nail a question. Accordingly the question paper of the previous years, clearly show that there has been almost an equal weightage from all chapters from every subject.

Still, if you do want to have a rough idea about whose value is greater :



Physics : Kinematics.

Chemistry : Organic and Physical ( Equilibrium, Gaseous State, Mole Concepts and Atomic theories precisely )

Maths : This is the only subject where the weightage is quite uniform and hence tough to predict the important ones.

Biology : NCERT Biology won't do at all, NCERT focuses on basics, KVPY targets your advanced abilities to assess. Genetics, Human physiology and Ecology are such topics from where questions are quite common. Try to read reference books.



Since you are a PCM Student, I hope you know the exam pattern well. From Section 1, you need to attempt 3 out 4 subjects and from Section 2, 2 out of 4 subjects.

Accordingly, you can leave out Bio if you wish but that depends totally on you. Maximize your time on the subjects which you expertise.



Hope this helps.



Best Wishes !
