- First of all, you need “Patience” because preparing for KVPY demands your hours of investment.
- Second, KVPY is one of the toughest Scholarship Exam and only 1 out 150 students get KVPY Scholarship.
Is There any Secret Recipe? ---- Yes! (I will tell you)
Please only read, if you are willing to crack KVPY. I am not specialist, though I have achieved a lot more than KVPY and I learnt one things that all roads meet at single destination.
Absence of expectation: Life is a delusion and puzzled. Things are valueless when no one cares and when you actually care, those useless things become priceless. You have wasted lots of water in your life time and sometimes you die for a single drop in the mid of June while walking on the road. In a TEDx, a guy from YouTube mentioned “Unexpected videos are usually gone viral on YouTube”. So don’t expect when you are preparing, when you have done. Just let it happen.
Time Management: This one is boring and cliché. We have heard this word many times in our life but never know the value of it. You know what “Only the person is going to die understand the value of Life and Time”. Even in Avenger Infinity War, Thanos shows us what TIME can do.
Leave no stone Unturned: Arnold Schwarzenegger, in an interview revealed this thing. He never left any stone unturned while preparing for Mr. Olympiad, no wonder He went on to win Mr. Olympia 7 times.
Be Believers First and you will become Achiever gradually. An intelligent person may fail in life, but a hard worker can never fail. In 1937, a book published by Napoleon hill named “Think and Grow Rich”, in that book, he explained Patience, Persistence, and Perspiration makes an unbeatable combination for success.
General tips
- Dont panic while preparing. Thoughts like the syllabus wont be over at time, or the feeling that no matter how hard you try you will eventually fail are natural. The same happened with me, but i eventually carried on and did get the results.
- Compare topics from +1 and +2. Only a few topics are completely new in the syllabi of +2. Rest of the chapters, you will eventually get to know, that are similar and have the same underlying concepts.
- SOLVE PREVIOUS PAPERS BEFORE THE ACTUAL EXAMINATION! This is really helpful in solving mathematics.
- If you feel time is short and you can only finish two subjects, there is nothing to worry about. If you examine the kvpy exam pattern, you have to solve 2 sections of 2 subjects and 1 of the third subject of your own choosing. I selected physics and chemistry and it did really help me out.
- Do not panic before the examination even if you are left with a few topics. The institute where i studied didn't finish probability semiconductors communication half organic 3d geometry by the time of kvpy, which made me score really low from caliber , around 67 whereas i could have scored 75-80 easily if th chapters were done. Try to find an institute which ensures and has a reputation to complete full syllabus by November. I am telling you this as quora helped me pull down my tension when i was tense about my syllabus and now i think i may help you out by giving you motivation through my own experience
