Admission to Class 9 is generally done at the school level and does not involve any national-level entrance examination. If you want to take admission in 9th class, you must have passed Class 8 from a recognised school or board. Most government and private schools conduct either a written admission test, an interview, or both, depending on the number of available seats. The subjects usually tested include Mathematics, Science, English, and sometimes Social Science, based on the syllabus of Class 8. For government schools such as Kendriya Vidyalayas and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, admissions are governed by specific rules, age criteria, and availability of seats, and the process is announced officially each year. In private schools, admissions are usually open between March and June, though mid-session admissions may be possible if seats are vacant. You will need documents such as your Class 8 mark sheet, transfer certificate, birth certificate, and address proof at the time of admission. It is recommended that you contact the school directly where you wish to apply, check their admission notification, and prepare for any entrance test or interaction they may conduct. All the best!
