JNVST Class 6 Admit Card 2026 — exam on 28 November 2026

The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) has made the admit cards for the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) 2027 for admission to Class VI live on the official portal. The exam is on 28 November 2026 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, in a single phase for Summer-bound and Winter-bound Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas. This is an admit-card and exam-date post for candidates who have already registered — applications for JNVST 2027 closed on 31 July 2026, so no fresh applications can be made.

Exam pattern

The test is of 2 hours with 80 objective-type questions carrying 100 marks, in three sections — Mental Ability, Arithmetic and Language — answered on an OMR sheet. Divyang candidates get an additional 40 minutes. The minimum qualifying marks are 14 in Mental Ability and EVS, 07 in Arithmetic and 07 in Language, as printed in the official prospectus.

The official portal announces that the admit cards for Class VI JNVST 2027 have been made live, and registered candidates may download them by filling in their credentials. Admit cards are free of cost. Download the card from the official portal link below and check your name, photograph, exam centre and reporting time carefully.

Fee

There is no fee for the test or the admit card. Admit cards are issued free of cost.

What comes next

The result is expected by the end of March 2027. There are 689 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas sanctioned across the country (except Tamil Nadu). Education in the Vidyalayas is free, including board and lodging, uniform and textbooks; Rs. 600 per month is collected from students of Classes IX to XII, as per the prospectus — this is not a fee for the test. Note that the Class IX lateral-entry exam date is not covered in this post: the official Class VI prospectus contains no Class IX content and the portal carries no Class IX prospectus, so no Class IX date is stated here.
