Dear Teacher,
The Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) is a programme initiated by the Department of
Science and Technology, Government of India to identify and attract bright young students to a research
career in science. This programme was started in 1998 and is now in its 17th year of operation.
The selection of students for award of KVPY Fellowship has several stages. After an initial short listing
of applicants, about 97467 students were invited to appear for an All-India Examination, which was held
in over 184 Schools 37 centers all over India on 1st November 2015. Stream SA Students who are
enrolled in XI Standard (Basic Science Subjects), during the academic year 2015-16 have been
selected for interviews.
I am happy to inform you that the student bearer of this letter has been selected to appear for the
interview to be held during January/February 2016, which is the final stage of the selection procedure. In
order to judge these young students potential properly, I would like you to share with us some aspects
