11/3/2016 Must Have Books For KVPY Aspirants.

It is difꢵ�cult to exactly point out books that you should study from, as the
syllabus is very broad. Basic knowledge of science subjects at the school level
does cover up most part of the exam syllabus.

For scoring better results so as to give you an edge over the others, however, you
have to stretch your horizon of study a little bit more.

Here are some of the best books to help you score better marks at the exam. They
are based on the latest syllabus of KVPY exam.

For Physics-

Fundamentals of Physics by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker. It is

published by Wiley Publication. Another book is Concepts of Physics by DC
Pandey

 For Chemistry-

Moderns ABC of Chemistry for Class-XI with CD by Modern Publishers. Another

book is NCERT Physical and Organic Chemistry by OP Tandon.

 For Mathematics-

Mathematics for Class XI by RD Sharma. It is published by Dhanpat.

 For Biology-

Elementary Biology Volume 1 by KN Bhatiya and MP Tyagi. Publisher is

Trueman.

Apart from these, course material for NCERT examinations also helps you to
prepare well for KVPY. Studying these books will increase your fundamental
knowledge of these four science subjects and your concepts on other topics as
well.

Studying text books for KVPY which are recommended above will be helpful in
attempting questions which are out of the syllabus. There are some general
knowledge questions for which you cannot always prepare for.

Covering the entire above mentioned syllabus will make it easier to answer the
tricky questions. As for the reasoning and analytical part, answering well will not
depend on how much you know. This section of the question paper needs to be
dealt with precision for the most accurate answers. For that, rather than studying
on particular book, practice as many previous question papers as you can.

There are always last year question papers available online or in the markets.
These books contain a vast collection of sample test papers which you can

will be.
