Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test For Admission In
Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (Class IX)
Introduction
In accordance with the National Policy of Education (1986),
Government of India started Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) all over the
country except Tamil Nadu. These are co-educational, residential schools, fully
financed by Government of India and run by an autonomous organization, Navodaya
Vidyalaya Samiti, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development. Though
admission to these Vidyalayas is at Class VI level, in order to optimally
utilize infrastructure facilities available, vacant seats at Class IX level are
filled through an All India level Selection Test. While education in the schools
is free including boarding, lodging, uniforms and textbooks, a nominal fee of
Rs.200/- per month will have to be collected from the children from IX to XII
Class. However, children belonging to SC/ST, Girls and from the families whose
income is below poverty line are exempted from payment of fees.

dated 9th April, 2013, regarding extension of
time duration to complete TET from 1.30 hours to 2.30 hours, the
