Dear student,

KVPY is a scholarship program, conducted by Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. It was started by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India , to identify the highly motivated and talented students and encourage them to take up research careers in Basic Science.

In KVPY, there are three category of exam, SA, SB and SX. SA is for those students who are in class 11th, SX is for those who are in class 12th and SB is for those who are in first year of any undergraduate program.

Here I am mentioning the syllabus for each exams.

SA stream Syllabus:-

• Mathematics- Introduction to Trigonometry, Geometry, Coordinate Geometry, Statistics, Quadratic Equations, Mathematical Reasoning, Statistics and Probability, Real Number, Polynomials, Probability, Surface Areas & Volumes,, Trigonometric Functions
• Biology- Control and Coordination in Animals and Plants, Heredity and Evolution, Reproduction, Life Processes, Our environment, Plant Physiology, Diversity of Living Organisms, Cell: Structure and Function, Human Physiology.
• Chemistry- Chemical Reactions, Metals and Non-Metals, Periodic Classification of Elements, Carbon Compounds, Acids, Bases and Salts, Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Thermodynamics, States of Matter: Gases and Liquids, Classification of Elements & Periodicity in Properties, Environmental Chemistry.
• Physics- Magnetic Effects of Current, Sources of Energy, Reflection, Refraction, Electromagnetic Induction, Applications in Daily Life, Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy and Power, Physical World and Measurement, Gravitation, Thermodynamics.

SB/SX stream Syllabus:-

• Chemistry- Thermodynamics, Chemical Reactions, Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Periodic Classification of Elements, Carbon compounds, Acids, Bases and Salts, States of Matter: Gases and Liquids, Classification of Elements & Periodicity in Properties, Metals and Non-Metals, Environmental Chemistry, Solid State, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Isolation of Elements, Surface Chemistry, Chemical Bonding, Chemistry of Noble Gases, Structure & Bonding, Alkenes, Cycloalkenes, Dienes and Alkynes

Biotechnology and Microbiology come under allied biology courses and do have great scope in teaching , research institutes and R&D department of many famous companies. It has scope in both India and abroad however abroad countries like USA, UK , Australia tend to have more scope comparitively as there is more research facility and infrastructure there. Biotechnology is expected to boom in the near future and has high demand.

You should definitely prepare for KVPY for admission into IISERs and IISC as these institutes are top notch and are very research centric giving huge opportunities to the students selected. Nevertheless , there are many other reputed institutes in India for biology like -

1. BHU , Varnasi                                                                                                                     2. Delhi University ( Hindu College , Miranda House)                                                    3.IITs ( For masters)                                                                                                              4. Stella Marie , Loyola College.

Hope this helps you! Good luck!

hi,

see there is no good coming thinking about the past. so if you are an engineering student, you would get opportunity to participate in many challenging programs which held by MNCS like accenture, infosys, IBM, microsoft etc. also IITs, nits has yearly tech fest organized where students have to give presentation for innovative projects . so there is lot of things to do and while going through many challenging competition , you have to decide in which way you want to make career, whether you want to do higher study or go for job. Another thing is there is GATE and IES exam which is who competitive exam where engineering students may apply. based  on gate score you may get job in PSUS like Indian oil, power grid, ntpc etc , admission to m.tech program in iits, iiits , nits is based on g gate score.  IES i.e Indian engineering  services exam, based on ies score candidates are recruit as officers for the services  to the technical functions/ engineering filed  under the Government of India.

Hey ,

KVPY is the entrance test for getting into IISc , IISERs that are extremely reputed institutes. A score of 5.5 in the KVPY exam is unfortunately not enough to get selected for the interview. There are 3 streams , i.e, SA,SB,SX for different categories. SA is for 11th grade , SX for 12th and SB for first year undergraduation. However the cutoff through any category and stream isnt sufficient.

Hello Aspirant,

The Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojna (KVPY) is a national program funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. It is organised by the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) to attract students who aim to pursue basic science courses and research careers in science. Students enrolled in grade 11 (Stream SA), grade 12 - science subjects (Stream X) and 1st-year undergraduate programs like B.Sc/B.Stat/B.Math, etc. (Stream SB) are eligible for the exam.

The syllabus for the different streams are:

Stream SA: covers all topics and chapters of class 10 and 11.

Stream SX: covers all topics and chapters of class 10, 11 and 12.

Stream SB: covers all topics and chapters of class 10, 11 and 12 along with

the syllabus of the 1st-year UG course.

As you must have noticed the syllabus of Stream SA and SX are similar to the syllabus of JEE Main and other competitive exams necessary for a B. Tech degree. So, if you are aiming to give one of these competitive exams, there is no harm in giving KVPY a try as well. This will help you understand where you stand in the process of preparation for the competitive exams and also help you understand the difficulty level of the questions appearing in the exam, thereby, enhancing your chances of getting into a good college to acquire your B. Tech degree.

After all, Practice makes Perfect.

Hope you found this to be useful.

Good luck!
