How to take admission in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya?



Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are the popular government educational institutions in India. In 1986, Indian government took a bold decision to setup institutions like JNV (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya) in every district of the country. Though government has yet not succeeded in its objective completely but today approximately 583 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are running in the 7 Union Territories and 28 different states of the country. These Navodaya Vidyalayas are funded and run by the Indian government through an independent educational body Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. 




How to take admission in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya? 

For taking admission in different JNVs (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas) students must appear in the entrance exam called JNVST (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test). JNVST is conducted by the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. In the entrance exam 100 questions are asked and the duration of the exam is two hours. Only students reading in class 5 in the current academic session can appear in JNVST. Students who have appeared in JNVST earlier are not allowed to sit in this entrance exam again.

Based on the performance in JNVST students are admitted in class 6 in different Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas. From class 6 to 8 students are taught in the regional language or in the mother tongue. From class 9 onwards, subjects like Science and Mathematics are taught in English. Students of JNVs reading in class 10 and 12 appear in the CBSE board examination. 

The most admirable feature of JNV (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya) is that from education to facilities like lodging and boarding are absolutely free of cost here. In addition to it study materials and uniforms are also provided to students without charging any fees. Students from class 9 to 12 are charged only 200 Rupees per month. Girls, Physically handicapped students, SC or ST category students and those belonging from BPL (Below Poverty Line) families are exempted from these fees.
