KVPY
KVPY Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana is a scholarship program for the students of Class 11, 12, and 1st-year undergraduates. The subjects considered for the examination are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics.
KVPY Exam
It is a scholarship program where students are awarded scholarships up to the pre- PhD level. The duration of this exam is three hours.
KVPY Exam 2020
The KVPY application forms were released on September 6, 2020. Students can fill the application form online and the exam will be conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore).
Usually, the selection procedure ends with an interview held finally. This year due to the COVID-19 situation, this process does not include the interview level for admissions of 2020-2021. However, the examination for 2020 is scheduled for November 3, 2020.
What is The KVPY Exam?
It's a national level entrance examination scheduled and held for selection of the eligible candidates/ students for the Aptitude Test and the interview organized by the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc).
What is The Syllabus of The KVPY Exam?
The KVPY doesn't have a typical exam syllabus. The candidates should study from topics of Class 11th, Class 12th, and 1st year's undergraduate books as per the choice stream. This exam is held for testing the student's analytical abilities and understanding of his knowledge.
