Students must go through the KVPY Exam Pattern to know the marking scheme and start their preparations accordingly.

KVPY Previous Years' Papers

Students must ensure that they practice from KVPY previous years’ question papers to know the type of questions asked in the examinations. Solving at least 2-3 papers daily would help the students in scoring good marks in the KVPY aptitude test. They must try and solve all questions and check them later on. All the incorrect questions must be worked upon and the paper should be solved again to score maximum marks.

Based on marks obtained in the papers solved, students can devise a strategy to score good marks in the aptitude test.

KVPY Subject-wise Preparation Strategy

Physics: It is mostly based on logical thinking, therefore, it is important that the students should have a basic fundamental knowledge of the concepts. If the basic concepts are clear, it will help in scoring good marks in this section.

Chemistry: This part is divided into two categories – organic and inorganic chemistry. One of the best strategies to prepare for chemistry is to solve questions from NCERT thoroughly. More practice, more marks will be obtained in Chemistry.

Mathematics: Practice is the key in scoring high marks in Mathematics. The more questions you will solve, the better your confidence will be in this section. Remember the formulas and the way to solve any equation will become easier.

Biology: Diagrams form the core part of the preparation strategy in Biology. Labelling diagrams is also a very important part. Experts have suggested that NCERT books are sufficient for Biology preparation. Candidates can make flowcharts to remember things in Biology.
