“For KVPY preparation, I used to refer to the study material provided by Aakash for NEET and AIIMS.
It consisted of different types of questions and level of questions which helped me to prepare for KVPY with an edge.” –
Akshat Kaushik (KVPY (SX) AIR 1)
Solve Previous Year Papers
To familiarize with the exam pattern and kind of questions asked, our toppers believe it is essential to solve as many previous year papers as possible. This not only helps gain an insight into the
KVPY Aptitude test but also analyze the difficulty level of questions, topics covered, types of questions asked, etc. Solving previous year papers also helps in better time management.
“I used to solve the previous year sample papers for KVPY preparation. It helped me analyze what kinds of questions are asked.” – Sarvagya Jain (KVPY AIR 4)
Online Mock Tests
KVPY Aptitude test is conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode. Hence, it is imperative to acquaint yourself with online test taking format. For that you should practice ample tests in CBT mode and preferably in real test environment to get an idea of the actual exam scenario. You can also take the Online Test Series Program for KVPY just like Akshat Kaushik and assess your performance against thousands of KVPY aspirants. Here are the links to KVPY online test series program:
“Aakash had a lot of CBTs for practice. So, I was quite accustomed to it. I would advise everyone to attempt at least five-six exams in CBT mode on KVPY exam pattern and in a very realistic environment as it can be quite intimidating for those who have never taken a test in CBT mode.” – Akshat Kaushik (KVPY AIR 1)
Plan Well for the Interview
Based on the performance in the aptitude test, short-listed students will be asked to appear for an interview which is the final stage of the selection procedure. To ace the interview, you should keep the following key points in mind:
Increase your general scientific knowledge and awareness.
Inculcate good reading habits and be informed.
Refer to video lectures available online, attend science fairs and seminars and keep yourself abreast of all the latest happenings.
Read about experiences of KVPY qualifiers.
While filling the form, restrict yourself to topics that you are confident about as often the interviewer asks questions based on the information provided by you in the form.
Research well on B. Sc courses and institutes.
Be prepared with what research career you would want to go for.
“The KVPY Interview is as important as the Aptitude test. I would advise all the aspirants to practice well for the interview by participating in a mock interview with their mentors, friends or parents. It helps a lot and makes you confident.” – Chirag Falor (KVPY AIR 3)
