The program aims to help in developing the best scientific talent for research & development in the country. Generous grants and fellowship are provided to the selected students (KVPY Fellows) up to the pre-Ph. D. level or 5 years whichever is earlier. A stipend of Rs.5000/- per month and an Annual Contingency Grant of Rs.20,000/- are granted during the 1^st to 3^rd year after which it is increased to a monthly stipend of Rs.7,000/- and an annual grant of Rs.28,000/- for the next two years.  In addition to this summer camps are organized for KVPY fellows at the premier and prestigious Institutions of education and research in the country.

The Department of Science and Technology, Government of India has entrusted the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore the complete responsibility of organizing and running the KVPY programme and set up a management committee and National Advisory Committee (NAC) to look over its implementation. There is a core committee that looks after its day to day and academic aspects of KVPY.

Eligibility Criteria:

Find here the KVPY 2023 Registration Eligibility Criteria. The Fellowship of the students appearing for KVPY 2023 shall be activated only if they join an undergraduate course in Basic Sciences, i.e. B.Sc. / B.S. / B.STAT. / B.Math. / Int. M.Sc. / M.S. in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Ecology, Botany, Molecular Biology, Zoology, Physiology, Neurosciences, Bioinformatics, Marine Biology, Geology, Human Biology, Genetics, Applied Physics, Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, Geophysics, Material Science or Environment Science.

The shortlisted candidates based on the performance in the aptitude test, are called for interviews. Another merit list is then prepared based on 70% weight-age for their aptitude test marks and 30% weight-age for their interview. There are three streams through which a candidate can apply: SA, SB, and SX. SA is for 11^th standard and SB & SX are meant for 12 standard students.

• Stream SA: SA is meant for students of 11^th standard who have scored at least 80% marks in aggregate in science and mathematics (70% marks in case of SC/ST/PWD) in class 10^th board examination.
