KVPY means “Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana”, which is a national fellowship program. This fellowship is granted to the selected students who are interested in pursuing research in basic Science. Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) Bangalore conducts an aptitude test annually for finding the best students across the country. You are eligible for this program if you are a student from class 11th to 1st year of any undergraduate program in Basic Sciences namely B.Sc./B.S./B.Stat./B.Math./Int. M.Sc./M.S. in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

Students often get confused about what KVPY SA means, stream SX KVPY means, and what KVPY SA SB SX means. We will discuss it one by one:
Stream SA KVPYHere is what KVPY SA means:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as a one-time measure, students who have passed the 10th Board Examination and are eligible to enrol in the 11th standard (Science subjects) during the academic year 2021-22, are eligible to appear for this Aptitude test.
Although, after the selection as a provisional KVPY fellow, students should produce a study certificate of the 11th class once.
During the interim period of one year, all the selected students will get an invitation to the National Science (Vijyoshi) Camp and KVPY takes care of their travel expenses and local hospitality.
Here is what stream SX KVPY means
Students enrolled in 12th class (Science subjects) during the academic year 2021–22 and aspiring to enrol in Basic Sciences undergraduate programs(B.Sc./B.S./B.Stat./B.Math./Int. M.Sc./Int. M.S) during the academic year 2022-23.
Students in their 2nd year of study in Cambridge International Examination Board and aspiring to join undergraduate programs in Basic Sciences are eligible too.
Here is what Stream SB KVPY means:
For Stream SB, students who have passed the 12th class Board Examination and are eligible to enrol in the 1st year of B.Sc./B.S./B.Stat./B.Math./Int. M.Sc./Int. M.S. for the academic year 2021–22 can appear for the aptitude test.
The student should produce a study certificate of 1st year B.Sc./B.S./B.Stat./B.Math./Int. M.Sc./Int. M.S once they are selected as a provisional KVPY fellow.
Note: The monetary and other assistance granted under this fellowship stream can be availed only if the student joins an undergraduate course in Basic Sciences (B.Sc./B.S./B.Stat./B.Math./Int. M.Sc./Int. M.S.) in the academic year 2023-24 after having secured a minimum of 60% (50% for SC/ST/PWD) marks in aggregate in MATHEMATICS and SCIENCE subjects in the XII standard Board Examination.
Along with the class X and XI syllabus, the first-year undergraduate syllabus is also included in the KVPY SB syllabus with respect to each subject. The four subjects, as well as the important topics related to each subject, are mentioned below.
| Subjects | Syllabus |
| Mathematics | Evaluation of Integrals, Statistics, Surface Areas and Volumes, Vectors and 3D Geometry, Calculus, Real Number, Polynomials, Coordinate Geometry, Mathematical Reasoning, Statistics and Probability, Trigonometric Functions, Linear Programming, Relations and Functions, Analytical Geometry in Two Dimensions, Vector Algebra, Geometry, Introduction to Trigonometry, Quadratic Equations, Probability. |
| Biology | Genetics, Life Processes, Human Physiology, Plant Physiology, Reproduction, Diversity of Living Organisms, Cell: Structure and Function, Biology and Human Welfare, Biotechnology, Control and Coordination in Animals and Plants, Genetics and Evolution, Our Environment, Ecology, and Environment. |
| Chemistry | Dienes and Alkynes, Thermodynamics, Chemical Reactions, Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Periodic Classification of Elements, Metals and Nonmetals, Environmental Chemistry, Solid State, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Isolation of Elements, Surface Chemistry, Chemical Bonding, Chemistry of Noble Gasses, Structure and Bonding, Alkenes, Cycloalkenes, Carbon Compounds, Acids, Bases and Salts, States of Matter: Gasses and Liquids, Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties. |
| Physics | Electromagnetic Induction, Physical World and Measurement, Sources of Energy, Refraction and its Applications in Daily Life, Thermodynamics, Reflection, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Electromagnetic Induction, and Alternating Current, Waves and Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, Electrostatics and Thermal Physics, Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Magnetic Effects of Current, Work, Energy, and Power, Gravitation. |
Many of the relevant principles, themes, and chapters from classes X, XI, and XII are covered in the KVPY SX syllabus. Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics are all covered in the syllabus, just as they are in the SA stream. All is the same, except for the SX stream, the KVPY syllabus for class 12 has been added.
The four subjects, as well as the important topics related to each subject, are mentioned below.
| Subjects | Syllabus |
| Mathematics | Real Number, Polynomials, Introduction to Trigonometry, Surface Areas and Volumes, Trigonometric Functions, Geometry, Linear Programming, Vectors, and 3D Geometry, Calculus, Relations and Functions, Coordinate Geometry, Mathematical Reasoning, Statistics, and Quadratic Equations, Probability, Statistics, and Probability. |
| Biology | Cell: Structure and Function, Genetics and Evolution, Human Physiology, Biology, and Human Welfare, Control and Coordination in Animals and Plants, Ecology and Environment, Life Processes, Plant Physiology, Diversity of Living Organisms, Reproduction. |
| Chemistry | Surface Chemistry, States of Matter: Gasses and Liquids, Metals and Nonmetals, Carbon Compounds, Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties, Chemical Reactions, Environmental Chemistry, Solid State, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, Isolation of Elements, Periodic Classification of Elements. |
| Physics | Magnetic Effects of Current, Reflection of Light, Electromagnetic Induction, Kinematics, Work, Energy and Power, Sources of Energy, Thermodynamics, Electrostatics, Refraction, Current Electricity, Electromagnetic Induction, and Alternating Current, Physical World, and Measurement, Gravitation, Laws of Motion. |
The exam duration for the KVPY exam for SB/SX streams was 3 hours.
The question paper was of 160 marks.
KVPY exam for SB/SX Stream was conducted from 2 to 5 pm.
There will be two parts in the question paper, part I and part II.
Students of class 12 have to attempt either maths or biology section.
As per the KVPY exam pattern 2021-22, Part I will carry 80 questions and part II will carry 40 questions. Students need to attempt only 80 questions.
Student has to attempt any 3 sections from part 1 (20x3 = 60 marks) and any 2 sections from part 2=(20*2=40), so 100.
In part I, each question will carry 1 mark and 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong response. In part II, each question will carry 2 marks and a negative marking of 0.5 marks is there for every wrong attempt.
Refer to the table below for a detailed KVPY exam pattern for SB and SX streams.
