The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) has officially issued the hall tickets for the upcoming Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) for the academic year 2026. The admit cards for admission to Classes 9 and 11 became available for download on the official portal starting today, January 7, 2026.

Prospective candidates can now access their admit cards by logging into the designated portal using their unique registration number and date of birth. NVS has emphasized that the hall ticket is a mandatory document for entry into the examination centre.
