Fifteen days. That is all that stands between your child and the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test on Saturday, 28 November 2026. And here is the thing most parents get wrong at this stage: they keep drilling sums and word lists, and forget the one piece of paper without which none of that preparation matters — the admit card, out since 28 October. If you have not downloaded it yet, do it today. A mistake spotted now can still be fixed. The same mistake spotted at the exam gate cannot.
Sit with the printout and go through this list, one line at a time. It takes five minutes.
1. Your child’s name, and both parents’ names. Spelling must match the school records and the birth certificate exactly. A single wrong letter is enough to cause trouble at document verification later.
2. Date of birth. The whole Class 6 eligibility rests on it. If the date is wrong, contact your district JNV Principal immediately with the child’s documents. Do not wait until exam day.
3. Photograph and signature. The invigilator matches the photo on the card with the child standing in front of them. If the photo is missing, blurred, or of someone else, get it corrected now.
4. Category, rural/urban status, and divyang status. These decide which merit list your child lands in. A wrong category can quietly cost a seat.
5. The medium of the test. This one catches people out every year. The question booklet comes only in the language chosen in the form, and it cannot be changed later — not at the centre, not on the day. If the medium on the card is not what you chose, flag it now.
6. Exam centre name and address. Your child can write the exam only at the centre printed on the card, and no centre change is allowed. Find the centre this week — visit it once if it is new to you. Knowing the route on a calm day beats discovering a wrong turn on 28 November.
7. Roll number, exam date and time. Obvious, but check it anyway: 28 November 2026, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, seated by 11:00 AM.
Do not write to a helpline and wait. Contact the Principal of your district’s JNV directly, with your child’s documents in hand. The district JNV runs the selection test in your district, and the Principal is the person who can actually get a correction moving.
Reach the centre by 10:15–10:30 AM. Carry the admit card printout, your child’s Aadhaar card — or the parent’s residence certificate uploaded in the application, if there is no Aadhaar — and two or three blue or black ballpoint pens. Answers go on an OMR sheet, and pencils are strictly prohibited. Leave phones, calculators and smart watches at home. A bell rings every 30 minutes, and nobody leaves the hall before 1:30 PM. Divyang candidates get 40 minutes extra.
One more thing: each correct answer carries 1.25 marks, and there is no negative marking. Your child should attempt every question — a guess costs nothing, a blank definitely scores zero.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mental Ability | 20 | 25 | 60 min (with EVS) |
| EVS | 20 | 25 | 60 min (with EVS) |
| Arithmetic | 20 | 25 | 30 min |
| Language | 20 | 25 | 30 min |
| Total | 80 | 100 | 2 hours |
Section-wise minimum qualifying marks apply, so a strong score in one section does not rescue a weak one. If your child is still lopsided — brilliant at arithmetic, shaky at language — these last fifteen days are for the weak section, not the strong one.
So: download the card, print two copies on A4, run the seven checks, and fix anything wrong this week. Fifteen days is plenty of time to prepare — and exactly enough time to fix a mistake. Do not waste it.
When is the JNVST 2027 Class 6 exam?
Saturday, 28 November 2026, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Your child must be seated in the allotted room by 11:00 AM, and latecomers are not allowed in.

What should I check on the admit card?
Your child’s name, parents’ names, date of birth, photograph, category, rural or urban status, the medium of the test, and the exam centre name and address. Any mistake should be reported to your district JNV Principal immediately.

The admit card printout, the child’s Aadhaar card or the parent’s residence certificate uploaded in the application, and two or three blue or black ballpoint pens. Pencils, phones, calculators and smart watches are not allowed.
