KVPY

Kishore Vaigyanik Proyotsan Yojana 

This is one of the major exams during your JEE Preparation. Though it might not be useful for most of you, clearing KVPY does give you confidence and boosts your morale in your Preparation.

 The exam doesn't have a fixed syllabus as such and there are few topics that are not in JEE syllabus but are asked here.I will further categories my posts according to the stages of the same common points.

In SA stream, for the first round, there are quite a few questions of class 12 in physics and Chemistry.Also in most coaching institutes, Organic Chemistry is not covered until November end.Therefore it might be a good Idea for you to study some of these topics in advance. Doing these topics will really provide you an edge and help you score a decent rank.Also If you have previous knowledge of Biology, it would really help you.Though if you have some time, go through important topics of NCERT Biology.

For SX stream there are a few questions here and there, mostly in physics, which might seem out of syllabus.Study Relativity ONLY if you have an interest or extra time xD.

Quite many questions of mathematics can be solved by substituting values and calculator does help you in that.In 2015 about 7-8 questions could be solved by just substituting values in the calculator. 

NOTE: Solving Previous years papers is a must.It will help you know which topics are really important and recent trends of the papers.

SECOND STAGE FOR KVPY 

The second stage for KVPY is usually not as hard as it sounds.The Interviewer knows that you are a high school student, therefore knows what to test you on. You don't need extra practice for the same.Just read past interviews of the candidates.Some of the interviews are given below.

Also, I will be adding many more interviews of various candidates who are currently studying alongside me in IITB and cleared KVPY.

KVPY Interviews  might help you, read these At least once before your Interview.
