KVPY 2020 Aptitude Test- 31-Jan-2021.
hope you may understand.
how can I prepare for kvpy SB stream in one week to get 65+.I could not prepare for it due to some problems. is it still possible. please help
Hello student,
KVPY 2021 Exam is going to held on January 31, 2021. So, as you have only 7-8 days for exam. Now let me clear you firstly that, if you have not prepared for the exam, then it will be very hard for you to get even 65 + marks in this period of time.
This exam needs a continuous practice. This is not an exam that you will cover in an ease. For this, you have to start your preparation atleast 6-7 months before the final exam.
Now as you have 7-8 days, so you can only try solving the previous year question papers. By this you will get to know the difficulty level of exam. And also, study from the NCERT books.
This time, you can take an overview by giving the exam. Below, I have provided a link. Here you can check all the tips to do better in this exam.

Hope it helps.
i forgot my KVPY id and password and also cant find my confirmation email and message and KVPY exam near . i shouldnt get my admit card without id and password. what i will do to get my id and password
Kindly let this be known that after you've forgotten your login ID, the first place one looks for it is in email/SMS folder. I'll suggest you to check the email/SMS section once again & see if you had starred them. Now that you have exhausted most options of retrieving or knowing your ID, it leaves with 2 options - contact the concerned officials of KVPY & let them know about you forgetting your ID & how they could assist you or you'd have give your detail & have a new application made for your case.
Kindly check your mobile & vicinity if you can find the same & if there's nothing, kindly contact the concerned authorities.
If you get your Login ID then you can easily change your password.
I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
