If you scored 96.25 marks in the Navodaya Vidyalaya entrance exam but your name didn't appear in the selection list, there could be several reasons:

1. Cut-off marks: The cut-off marks for Navodaya Vidyalaya entrance exams vary by category. It's possible that the cut-off marks for your category were higher than 96.25.

2. Tie-breaker criteria: If multiple students score the same marks, Navodaya Vidyalaya uses tie-breaker criteria, such as age or reservation.

3. Answer key issues: There might have been an issue with the answer key, resulting in lower marks.

Here's what you can do:

1. Contact Navodaya Vidyalaya's office: Reach out to the Navodaya Vidyalaya office and inquire about your marks and selection list.

2. Verify your answer sheet: If you suspect an error, request a re-evaluation of your answer sheet against the answer key.

3. Request re-consideration: If you believe there's an issue with the selection list, contact the Navodaya Vidyalaya office and request re-consideration.
