Karnataka has one of the largest networks of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) in India, with schools operating across almost every district, including Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Mysuru, Belagavi, Ballari, Shivamogga, Tumakuru, and more. These JNVs offer free, fully residential, CBSE-affiliated education from Class VI to XII, focusing on academic excellence, cultural exposure, sports, and holistic development for talented rural students. Each JNV follows the national Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) model, ensuring modern learning facilities, ICT-enabled classrooms, smart libraries, and strong co-curricular programs.
As per the latest updates for 2025–26, admissions to all Karnataka JNVs continue through the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) for Class 6, along with Lateral Entry tests for Class 9 and Class 11. NVS has recently revised exam dates, extended application deadlines for Karnataka districts, and aligned the academic framework with NEP 2020—introducing updated language policies, multidisciplinary learning, and upgraded digital infrastructure across schools. If you’re publishing the Karnataka list now, highlight all operational JNVs district-wise, mention their locations, and note that admission schedules and notifications are updated regularly on the official NVS portal.
