The process of getting selected for admission into a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya primarily involves the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) . Check the selection process below:

1. Notification and Application:

  • The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) releases a notification announcing the admission process, including details about the application period, NVS eligibility criteria, and exam dates.

  • Eligible candidates must apply online through the official NVS website (navodaya.gov.in).


2. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST):

  • The JNVST is a selection test designed to assess the aptitude and potential of candidates.

  • It consists of questions related to mental ability, arithmetic, and language.

  • The test is conducted in the language chosen by the candidate.

  • The test is objective type.

3. Merit List and Selection:

  • After the test, the NVS prepares a merit list based on the candidates' performance.

  • Selection is done district-wise, ensuring representation from rural areas.

  • Reservation policies are applied as per government norms.

  • The selection process considers the following factors:


    • Performance in the JNVST.

    • Rural area quota.

    • Reservation for SC/ST/OBC and differently-abled candidates.

    • Availability of seats.

4. Document Verification and Admission:

  • Selected candidates are required to undergo document verification to confirm their eligibility.

  • This includes verifying residence, age, and educational qualifications.

  • Upon successful verification, candidates are granted admission to the JNV.


There are also lateral entry admissions for Class IX and XI, which have their own selection processes. By following these steps and preparing thoroughly for the JNVST, candidates can increase their chances of selection.
