In a major update for parents and students across the country, the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) has officially released the results for Class VI admissions for the 2025 academic session. The results pertain to both Winter Bound and Summer Bound schools, with downloadable results now available for Winter Bound regions and marks declared for Summer Bound candidates.
This announcement marks a crucial phase in the selection process for one of India’s most competitive and sought-after school admissions.
What is NVS?
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, runs the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) – a network of co-educational residential schools aimed at providing quality education to talented students predominantly from rural areas. Admissions to these schools are made at the Class VI level through a national selection test conducted annually.
These schools provide free education, including board, lodging, uniforms, and textbooks, making them highly desirable among students from underprivileged and rural backgrounds.
Key Update: Class VI Admissions 2025
For the academic year 2025, the NVS has released the following:
- Winter Bound JNVs: The final results for Class VI admissions have been made available for download. These include the list of selected students based on their performance in the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST).
- Summer Bound JNVs: While the final merit list is still awaited, NVS has released the marks obtained by candidates. This allows students and parents to assess their performance and understand their standing in the competition.

What’s the Difference Between Winter and Summer Bound Schools?
JNVs are categorized into Winter Bound and Summer Bound schools based on geographical and climatic conditions.
- Winter Bound JNVs are located in colder regions such as Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of the Northeast. These schools follow a distinct academic calendar with slightly adjusted timelines.
- Summer Bound JNVs are located in the rest of the country and operate on a conventional academic calendar.
This distinction is important for admission timelines, result declarations, and school opening schedules.
Admission Process and Next Steps
For students who have cleared the selection process for Winter Bound schools:
- Verification of documents will begin soon at the respective JNVs.
- Parents must produce original certificates including birth certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), proof of residence, and income certificate.
- Final admission is subject to verification of all credentials.
For Summer Bound candidates, final selection lists are expected to be released soon. Until then, students can analyze their marks and prepare necessary documents for the next phase.
Importance of JNVST
The JNV Selection Test is a unique initiative that provides equal opportunity to talented children, especially from rural areas. Conducted in over 600 districts across India, the exam assesses logical reasoning, arithmetic, and language skills. It’s available in multiple regional languages to ensure accessibility.
In 2025, the selection process saw participation from lakhs of students, reaffirming the popularity and credibility of JNVs as a platform for inclusive education.
