Till 1998, the JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA Selection Test (JNVST) was conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. The JNVST test is largely non-verbal and objective in nature and is designed to prevent any disadvantage to children from rural areas. Now admissions are also taken in Class IX and XI. During the academic year 2008-09 admissions are allowed in Class VIII. These admissions are conducted through an objective and descriptive test containing questions on English, Mathematics, Science, & Social Sciences.

A candidate seeking admission under the rural quota must have studied in Classes-III, IV and V completing full academic session from the Government/ Government Aided/Government recognized schools located in rural areas. However, the candidate should study full academic sessions in Class-V from the same district where admission is sought.
