Hello there,

To qualify for admission into Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in Class 6 , a student must clear the JNVST (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test) . The selection is based on merit, and the cutoff marks vary depending on the category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and region (rural or urban).

Key Points for General Category:

1. Cutoff Marks :

   • For the General category , the cutoff is generally higher compared to reserved categories.
     
     
   • It usually ranges between 85 to 95 marks out of 100, depending on the state and the number of applicants.
     
     

2. Scoring 90 Marks :

   • If a general category boy scores 90 marks , there is a good chance of selection, especially in rural areas.
     
     
   • However, the exact cutoff depends on the competition and the number of seats available in the respective JNV for that region.
     
     

3. Other Factors :

   • The rural quota provides an advantage if the student studied in a rural school.
     
     
   • Urban students may face tougher competition.

If your son scored 90 marks , he stands a decent chance, especially in regions where the cutoff trends lower. Keep an eye on the official cutoff list when released by NVS to confirm.
