I just saw the blogpost about the first batch of undergrads at IISc.
The KVPY on which this is based, requires that the applicant should present a project report.
This reminds me of the Science Talent exam the NCERT used to have. We needed a project for that too.
There were a few people who had qualified in the NSTS who had done amazing projects. One project was a chromatography-based drug detection unit. This was done in one of the well known research labs of those times, where the student's father was a senior chemist. In 1970, chromatographic methods (barring paper and tlc), were quite uncommon and I, as school student had not even heard of it. I was totally impressed and wondered how I, with my school-girlish project had qualified. I still do!!
The point is, if a scientist father/mother/uncle.. gives a good project idea and explains how it should be done, then the student has a brilliant project even if he/she is not too brilliant. To defend it, one only needs to be fairly intelligent, not really brilliant.
School science fair projects are often done by fathers/mothers, very few are the childrens' own ideas.

KVPY does have a stream called KVPY-SP, which is through projects.
IISc does not admit students through KVPY-SP. It admits students only through SA/SB/SX, for which there is no project.
Thanks

I do not know any details about the KVPY scheme. Maybe you could write to the organisers or someone from IISc.
