Introducing Avanti Gurukul App
The “Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana” (KVPY) is a national level fellowship program started by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India in 1999. The exam would be conducted in the first week of November. The online registrations have already begun and interested candidates can register online on the KVPY official website till 31st August 2019. Though KVPY examination doesn’t have a prescribed syllabus, it tests one’s aptitude and analytical skills in the field of Science. You are expected to be thorough with the concepts Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics till Std. 12th. To get an insight into the portion of KVPY syllabus, keep reading this article.
KVPY Exam Paper Pattern
- Mode of Examination: The exam would be conducted in an online mode.
- Duration: 3 hours
- Language: English & Hindi
- Type of Questions: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
- Papers: The question paper is divided into two parts: Part 1 & Part 2. There will be four sections in Part 1 & Part 2 (Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics/Biology).
- Marks: The question papers of Stream SA (11th Std.) & Stream SB/SX (1st Year Graduation/12th Std. respectively) 1 will be of 100 marks.
- Marking Scheme: In Part 1 of all Streams, one mark would be awarded for correct response & 0.25 marks will be deducted for an incorrect response. In Part 2 of Stream SA & Stream SB/SX, for each correct response, two marks would be awarded to the candidates & 0.5 marks will be deducted for an incorrect answer.
All the questions are compulsory in the SA stream. In SB/SX streams, you can attempt any 3 sections from Part 1 and any 2 sections from part 2.
| Sr.no | Subject | Part-1 (SB/SX) | Part-2(SB/SX) | Part-1 (SA) | Part-2(SA) |
| 1 | Physics | 20 questions-1 mark each | 10 questions-2 marks each | 15 questions-1 mark each | 5 questions-2 marks each |
| 2 | Chemistry | 20 questions-1 mark each | 10 questions-2 marks each | 15 questions-1 mark each | 5 questions-2 marks each |
| 3 | Mathematics | 20 questions-1 mark each | 10 questions-2 marks each | 15 questions-1 mark each | 5 questions-2 marks each |
| 4 | Biology | 20 questions-1 mark each | 10 questions-2 marks each | 15 questions-1 mark each | 5 questions-2 marks each |
