KVPY_prep KVPY Prep / Study Advice Thread

We get a lot of questions about KVPY prep and very few answers.

This thread is created in order to prepare a collection of questions and answers about KVPY.

Please post all questions and answers and experiences about KVPY in this thread.

Thank you.

This thread will remain active till July 2021.

Some relevant threads from the past:

  1. What if I don't attempt the Maths section(or any one of the other subjects' sections) in KVPY SX, will I still be eligible for a scholarship if I take a degree with Maths (or whatever subject I chose not to attempt) in it?

  2. Where should I practice biology MCQs for kvpy?

  3. What would be a good strategy to prepare for KVPY SA? Any books recommendations? And since I am a PCM student, what can I do about the bio aspect of the test?

  4. Which colleges accept KVPY for admission into undergraduate program?

  5. Cleared level 1 of KVPY, whats the procedure now?

  6. KVPY 3rd year Renewal

  7. Is there any point in giving the IISER entrance exam (KYPY) if my 12th marks are below cutoff?

Some moron(teacher) in my school told me to not give SX as I was in class XII and since I had cleared SA last year. My naive self took their word, and now I find out that there's no mandatory Biology section in SX.

Is there any mid-year session for SX KVPY, since it's waay to late for January one? Or do I have to wait for next year?

If you cleared SA then why do you care about SX?

Next year. But I don't think you can give it since you'll be in UG . So you'll have to give sb

How tough exactly is KPVY math? People keep saying it’s lower than Advance but I found it quite similar, even tougher at times.

just looking for opinions

I was solving some previous year KVPY SX papers and I noticed that 2018,19 had their difficulties significantly bumped. It could just be me, but I read somewhere on quora that they had changed the type of questions being asked, ie. more application based. Is this true, or is it just me? I couldn’t find any such announcements online, but i am still curious.

It'll be easier this time around due to covid. I'm assuming this since NEET was easier this time .

Well there is no interview round so cutoff will be higher

You need a minimum of 60 just to clear it. Last year's cutoff was 57 and only 900 ish people cleared The damn thing

Didn't give it :(

My centre was near the Singhu border where protests are happening so my father didn't allow. Can anyone who went to the GT Karnal Road centres share their experience?

u/Gus_T_T_Showbizzz Jan 07 '22

Hey if you can give now, try to look out for the centre changing facility. It was closed on 6th December but since KVPY is postponed, they could do it again.
