JNV Result 2026 — Complete Guide to Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test

The Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) 2026 is conducted by the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) under the Ministry of Education, Government of India.

In addition to Class 6, the JNVST Class 9 Lateral Entry result 2026 gives another opportunity to students who could not get selected in Class 6. This lateral admission program is designed for Class 8 students who want to join JNV directly in Class 9, provided seats are available in the respective Navodaya Vidyalaya.
