    In this paper, we have studied the spectra of strange particles in pp collision at s = 0.9 TeV by using different simulation models, EPOS-1.99, SIBYLL-2.3c, QGSJETII-04 and EPOS-LHC. The transverse momentum and rapidity distribution in the pT range of 0<pT<10 GeV/c and 0<pT<2 GeV/c, respectively, are investigated for the strange particles, Kso, Λ, Ξ. Similarly, a comparative study is done for the ratio of Λ/Kso and Ξ/Λ as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity. The validity of simulation models is tested by comparing simulation results to the CMS experimental data at s = 0.9 TeV. For pT distributions, the EPOS-LHC model in the pT range pT<0.3 GeV/c, pT>8 GeV/c and in 3.6<pT<3.8 GeV/c while EPOS-1.99 model in the pT range 2.5<pT<2.8 GeV/c and QGSJETII-04 model in the pT range 2.5<pT<2.8 GeV/c as well as, 3.6<pT<3.8 GeV/c explain the experimental data well. For the, Λ/Kso and Ξ/Λ versus transverse momentum distributions, EPOS-LHC model in the pT range of, 2.4<pT<2.6 GeV/c and 1.6<pT<1.8 GeV/c, EPOS-1.99 model in the pT range, 1.7<pT<2.2 GeV/c, SIBYLL-2.3c model in the pT range, 1.4<pT<1.6 GeV/c and QGSJETII-04 model in the pT range 0.4<pT<0.6 GeV/c explain the experimental data very well. Similarly, for Λ/Kso and Ξ/Λ versus rapidity distribution QGSJETII-04 predictions in the rapidity region, 0.4<|y|<0.6, 1.4<|y|<1.6, and |y|>1.8, while EPOS-LHC model in the region, |y|>1.8, very well explained the experimental data. Although good comparison of the models predictions with the experimental data is observed, none of them completely describe the experimental data the spectra of strange particles over the entire pT and y range.
