JNV Admission: The Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are co-educational residential schools fully financed and administered by the Government of India through an autonomous organisation, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. The admissions in JNVs are conducted through Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) to Class 6.
Parents and students must note that education in the schools is free including boarding, lodging, uniform and textbooks. Students belonging to SC/ST categories, Divyang students, girls, and students whose family income is below poverty line (BPL) are exempted from paying the monthly amount, the school body noted. Interested parents and candidates must note that the school body releases online application form through its official channels.
However, Rs 600 per month is collected only from the students of Classes 9 to 12 towards Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi (VVN). Admission of students to Class 6 of the school is conducted through the annual Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST), which is the primary entry point. Additionally, students are also admitted through lateral entry for Classes 9 and 11 to fill vacant seats.
JNVs are affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), according to official information.
