Jawahar Navoday Vidyalay
Class 6 (VI) Admission 2018-19
Admission in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is made on the basis of a
Selection Test, designed and conducted by the CBSE. The test is called the
Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST). It is of non-verbal nature,
class-neutral and designed so as to ensure that talented children from rural
areas are able to compete without facing any disadvantage. Special care is
taken to ensure that children from far flung areas get admission forms free of
cost, without any difficulty. Sufficient publicity is done through Doordarshan,
All India Radio, local newspapers, pamphlets, Vidyalaya websites and through
visits of Principals and teachers of Navodaya Vidyalayas to the local schools
of the district.
Eligibility Conditions
For All Candidates
Only candidates from the district where the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya
has been opened are eligible to apply for admission. However, in the district
where the JNV is opened and is bifurcated at a later date, the old boundaries
of the district are considered for the purpose of eligibility for admission in
the JNVs. This applies to cases where new Vidyalaya has not yet been started in
the newly bifurcated district.
Candidates appearing for the selection test must be studying in Class-V
for the entire academic session in a Government/Government-Aided, other
recognized school or ‘B’ Certificate Competency Course of National Institute of
Open Schooling, in the same district where he/she seeks admission.
A school will be deemed to have been recognized if it is declared so by the Government or by any other agency authorized on behalf of the Government. Schools, where students have obtained ‘B’ certificate under National Institute of Open Schooling should have accreditation of NIOS. A candidate must successfully complete Class-V. Actual admission in Class-VI will be subject to these conditions.
