Key JNVST 2027 facts from the prospectus

• Registration is free, through the NVS admission portal linked from navodaya.gov.in.
• The last date in the prospectus was 31 July 2026. Watch the portal for any extension or the correction window, which opens for a few days after the last date for gender, area, category, disability and medium of exam.
• The selection test for summer bound and winter bound JNVs is on 28 November 2026, in a single phase.
• Results are expected by the end of March 2027, on the application portal.
• The form asks for the child's Aadhaar number, APAAR ID and PEN (Permanent Education Number) along with state, district and block.

If the child's PEN or APAAR ID is missing, sort that out with the school first; see downloading the APAAR ID card.

How to prepare the four files as a parent

1. Take a recent, clear photo of your child facing the camera against a plain light wall, in good daylight.
2. Ask your child to sign on plain white paper with a dark pen, and sign yourself on a separate sheet, so you have two clean signature images.
3. Photograph or scan the Aadhaar card or the residence certificate flat, with all four corners visible. Use a phone scanner app for a clean, straight image.
4. Save every file as JPG, not PNG or PDF.
5. Bring each file between 10KB and 100KB with the photo resizer. Aim for 30-80KB so nothing lands on the edge of the range.
6. Name the files clearly, for example child_photo.jpg and parent_sign.jpg, so you pick the right one for each field.
7. Upload on the NVS portal and check every preview before you submit.

Help if you cannot upload at home

The prospectus says every JNV runs a free helpdesk for the application. Take the child, the photo and both signatures, the documents, and a mobile phone with an active number for the OTP, registration number and password sent by SMS. Applications can also be made from any mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop.

The selection is district specific: the child can only apply for the district where the family lives during Class 5. The rural or urban status depends on where the school for Classes 3, 4 and 5 is located, so check that carefully before you register.

Who is eligible for JNVST 2027

Check eligibility before you spend time on the photos. As per the prospectus, the child must:

• Be a bona fide resident of the district and be studying in Class 5 for the whole 2026-27 session in a government, government-aided or other recognised school in that district (or hold an NIOS B certificate).
• Have been born between 01.05.2015 and 31.07.2017, both dates inclusive.
• Have studied full academic sessions in Classes 3, 4 and 5.
• Not have appeared in the selection test before. Repeaters are cancelled at any stage.

The prospectus warns that wrong residence or study details lead to cancellation without notice, so fill these from the child's school records, not from memory.

Documents you need later, not at registration

If your child is provisionally selected, the prospectus lists documents for admission, including a copy of the child's Aadhaar card, a certificate from the Head Master of the school about the Class 3, 4 and 5 study details and rural or urban area, an undertaking for migration, and category or disability certificates if they apply. Keep these ready early, since selection can be cancelled if claims cannot be proved.

Common mistakes

• Uploading the parent's signature in the child's signature field, or the other way round.
• Saving the Aadhaar or residence certificate as a PDF when the portal wants a JPG.
• Files below 10KB after heavy compression.
• Choosing the wrong district or rural/urban area, which cannot always be fixed later.
• Paying an agent: registration is free and every JNV has a free helpdesk.
