On Question asked by student community
Hello,
For Class 11 admission in JNV (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya) :
No JNVST or LEST entrance exam is conducted for Class 11.
Admission is done only on the basis of merit.
Selection criteria:
Marks obtained in Class 10 (CBSE or State Board) .
Availability of vacant seats in the stream (Science / Commerce / Arts).
Subject-wise eligibility as per the chosen stream.
So, students are selected through a merit list , not through any entrance exam.
Admissions depend on seat availability and are not guaranteed every year.
Hope it helps !
