Here we provide you with the tips and tricks for clearing the KVPY SA Exam(Round I) and at the same time will give you suggestions that will help you in preparation.

Before we go into the subject-wise analysis, it’s advisable that you should make yourself more or less equally adapt at all four subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology).

You have to keep in mind that all four subjects are equally important and if you neglect any of them, you can say goodbye to your hopes of cracking the KVPY SA exam.

Subject-wise analysis for KVPY SA Examination:

Physics: Make sure that you are thorough with the class XI syllabus. The most important topics are Mechanics, Ray Optics, Electromagnetism. You should know the class XI level Mechanics properly.

We assume that Ray Optics and Electromagnetism is not there in your class XI syllabus. But there is no need to worry. The basic class X level knowledge in these two topics is enough.

The less important topics, that is – Thermodynamics, SHM, and Waves should preferably be completed from the class XI book.

Mathematics: You will need to know almost all the topics from class XI. Class X level of knowledge of Geometry is required. If you know the basics of Number Theory, it will help you a lot. Mental ability based questions that involve Algebra, Geometry are important.

Important chapters include Quadratic Equation, Progression, and Series, Permutations, and Combination, Basic Geometry. In Coordinate Geometry, Conics is NOT required.

Get ready to wrack your brain as you are going to face a lot of IQ-Based problems.

Chemistry: In brief, you need the knowledge of Physical Chemistry of Class XI level. The key chapters are Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Chemical Energetics, Stoichiometry, and Gaseous State.

Class X level knowledge of Organic Chemistry is enough for you. Don’t worry about Inorganic Chemistry. Hardly any question comes from there. Even if you encounter an odd question from there, you will be able to solve it with basic Class X knowledge.

Biology:  A basic Class X knowledge of Biology is enough.

In Fact, if you know the Class X syllabus pretty well, you can even score cent- percent marks in Biology. Just open your class X book and revise.

Last piece of advice for the KVPY examination:

Solve the previous year's question papers of KVPY rigorously. Find your loopholes, and work on them. Unlike IIT JEE, you are NOT going to face new types of problems every year in KVPY. So, if you have thoroughly practiced previous years' questions, then it helps immensely.

Finally, KVPY is just a test of your Analytical Skills and your Aptitude in Science.

Be calm and confident while appearing for the exam and don’t be stressed unnecessarily.

We hope these examination tips will help you in clearing the KVPY SA exam and becoming a proud KVPY scholar.

Best of luck with the exam!
