YACHULI : The Keyi Panyor district administration has launched a district-wide awareness campaign to encourage eligible students to register for the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) 2027 for admission to Class VI.

Highlighting the importance of reaching children in remote villages, Keyi Panyor District Magistrate Shweta Nagarkoti said the initiative aims to ensure that no deserving student misses the opportunity due to lack of awareness or internet access.

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs), established by the Government of India, provide free, quality residential education to talented students, particularly from rural areas. Selected students receive free education, boarding, lodging, uniforms and textbooks.

The District Magistrate said talent exists across the district and urged parents, village elders and teachers to identify meritorious Class V students and help them apply for the entrance examination.

Online registration for JNVST 2027 is open until July 31, while the entrance examination is scheduled to be held on November 28.

Applications can be submitted through the official websites of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti or the designated online admission portal using mobile phones, computers, Common Service Centres (CSCs) or cyber cafés.

To facilitate registrations, the district administration has directed all Block Education Officers, government primary schools and CSCs in the district to assist parents in completing the online application process free of charge.

Parents requiring further assistance have been advised to contact their nearest government primary school or the office of the Principal of the local Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya.
