The admission process for Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) for the 2025-26 academic year has officially begun. Parents interested in enrolling their children in Class VI must submit their applications online via the official JNV website (navodaya.gov.in) by September 16, 2024. This deadline is strict, and no extensions will be granted.
Why Choose Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya?
Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is one of India’s premier government schools, offering top-tier education alongside boarding facilities at no cost. The absence of tuition and lodging fees makes JNV an attractive option for many parents. However, admission is highly competitive, requiring students to pass a rigorous entrance examination due to the limited number of seats available each year.

- District Restriction: Applications are only accepted for the Navodaya Vidyalaya located within the student’s home district.
- Educational Background: Students must have completed Classes III, IV, and V in a government, government-aided, or recognized school.
- Quota Distribution: 75% of seats are reserved for students from rural areas within each district, with the remaining 25% open to both urban and rural students.
Selection Process
Admission is merit-based, determined through the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST), a national-level examination. The test assesses students on Mathematics, Mental Ability, and their Regional Language, making thorough preparation essential.
