How many students are selected in JNV Class 9?

Students selected for JNV Class 9 admissions varies each year. This is because the admissions are based on vacant seats available in the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas. Check the number of students selected in JNV Class 9:

• Lateral Entry:
  • Admissions to Class 9 in JNVs are done through a "lateral entry" selection test. This means they fill the seats that become vacant when students leave the school.
  • Therefore, the number of selected students is directly related to the number of available seats.
• Variability:
  • The exact number of selected students will differ from region to region and from year to year.
  • The number of students selected for class 9 is significantly less than those selected for class 6. This is due to the nature of the lateral entry process.
