Why JNVs Perform So Well

Admission to Class 6 in Navodaya schools is done via the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST), ensuring that only talented rural students with strong foundational abilities get admitted.
2. Highly Qualified Teachers
All JNV teachers are recruited through a rigorous selection process by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS). Most hold post-graduate degrees with professional teaching qualifications.
3. Free Residential Facilities
Unlike many schools where children face environmental challenges, JNVs offer a free residential education system with food, uniforms, books, and lodging—helping students focus solely on academics and personality development.
4. National Integration Program
Navodaya runs a unique migration scheme in which 30% of Class 9 students exchange between Hindi and non-Hindi speaking regions—enhancing exposure, confidence, and adaptability.
5. Digital & Holistic Education
Most JNVs are now equipped with smart classrooms, e-libraries, ICT labs, and even coding clubs under the Digital India program. This ensures modern, practical education even in rural corners.
Success Stories from Navodaya
