Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) has officially announced the closure of registration for lateral entry admissions in class 9 and 11 for the academic year 2024-25. The registrations will conclude on October 31, 2023.
Prospective students can submit their applications for JNV Class 9 and 11 lateral entry through the official website, navodaya.gov.in. Selection will be based on their performance in the JNV Lateral Entry Selection Test.

In a notable shift, NVS expanded lateral entry admissions to include Class 11 students starting from 2023.
