The Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) is a National Program of Fellowship in Basic Sciences, initiated and funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to attract exceptional and highly motivated students for pursuing basic science courses and research career in science.

The advertisement for the KVPY Scholarship exam appears in all the national dailies usually on the Technology Day (May 11) and the Second Sunday of July every year.

Based on the performance in the aptitude test, short-listed students are called for an interview which is the final stage of the selection procedure.
