Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) Admit Card 2026

Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) has released the admit card for the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) for Class VI admission to the 2027–28 academic session. The NVS Class 6 Admit Card 2026 is now available for candidates preparing to take the entrance test.

This admission cycle requires candidates to meet both age and district-linked eligibility conditions. The entrance test is the first stage of a process that continues through merit-based selection, counselling and final admission, so the admit-card release marks an examination milestone rather than confirmation of a seat.

NVS Class 6 Admit Card 2026: Examination Schedule and Admission Timeline

The admit card became available on 28 October 2026, ahead of the Summer Bound examination scheduled for 28 November 2026. Candidates should distinguish these examination-stage dates from the earlier application period, which ended after an extension.

The current task for registered applicants is to obtain their examination document and review the relevant schedule and instructions. The result declaration date has not yet been specified.

How to Access the Admit Card and Examination Schedule

NVS provides a dedicated admit-card download page for this admission cycle. Candidates can use the NVS Class 6 admit-card download link to access it directly.

The homepage route also includes examination-schedule information through the Admit Card section. When following that route, candidates should distinguish the admit-card link from the Exam Date / Examination Schedule link, which opens the examination city notice.

1. Open the NVS website and go to the Admit Card section on the homepage.
2. Find the notification or link for NVS Class 6 Admit Card 2026.
3. To review scheduling information, locate the Exam Date / Examination Schedule link in that section.
4. Open the relevant link to view the examination city notice.
5. Check the examination date, shift, reporting time and other instructions shown in the notice.
6. Download the PDF and save it on your device for reference.

Class VI Admission Scope and Eligibility Conditions

This cycle covers admission to Class VI (6th), with a listed Class VI count of 665. Eligibility combines a defined birth-date range with residence and schooling requirements tied to the district where the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is located.

The district rule therefore concerns both where the candidate resides and where the qualifying school is situated. NVS also provides age relaxation under its regulations, although no specific relaxation amount or category-wise provision is stated here.

• Candidates must have been born between 01 May 2015 and 31 July 2017.
• Candidates must be residents of the district in which the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is located.
• Candidates must have passed the 5th grade examination from a government or government-recognized school in that district.
• Age relaxation applies as provided under NVS regulations.

Application Fee and Registration Reference

There is no application fee for any candidate in this admission cycle. This is a uniform fee condition rather than a category-specific exemption.

Applicants who need to retrieve their registration reference can use the dedicated Find Registration Number page. That facility is separate from the admit-card download page and the application login page.

Selection Process: From Entrance Test to Final Admission

NVS lists four stages in the admission process, beginning with the entrance test and ending with final admission. Merit-based selection follows the test, while counselling forms a separate stage before the process concludes.

This sequence makes it important to distinguish examination participation from the final admission outcome. The listed stages do not specify a marking matrix, counselling timetable or stage-wise document requirements.

1. Entrance Test: Candidates take the JNVST as the first stage of selection.
2. Merit Based Selection: The process moves to merit-based selection after the entrance test.
3. Counselling: Counselling follows the merit-based selection stage.
4. Final Admission: Admission is the concluding stage of the listed process.
