Navodaya Vidyalayas offer a unique educational opportunity, and while they are largely "free," there are some nuances to understand:

• Free Education and Facilities:

  • Navodaya Vidyalayas provides free education from Class VI to XII.

  • They also offer free boarding and lodging, uniforms, textbooks, and stationery.

  • Additionally, they cover travel expenses for students.

• Nominal Fees:

  • A nominal fee is charged to students of Classes IX to XII as "Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi."

  • However, certain categories are exempt from this fee:

    • Students belonging to SC/ST categories.

    • Girl students.

    • Children from families below the poverty line (BPL).

  • Also, there is a different fee structure for children of government employees.

Essentially, Navodaya Vidyalayas aim to provide quality education to talented rural children, regardless of their financial background. While a small fee exists for some senior students, the vast majority of educational and living expenses are covered.

Hi there,

Yes, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) provides free education from Class 6 to 12 , covering tuition, hostel, food, and other expenses. However, students from Class 9 to 12 pay a nominal fee of Rs. 600 per month (Rs. 1500 for general category boys). SC/ST, girls, and students from BPL families are fully exempted from this fee.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
