List of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in Delhi

Delhi currently hosts Nine JNVs serving talented rural students: Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Mungeshpur (North West Delhi zone) and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Jaffarpur Kalan (South West Delhi zone). These schools are part of the national Navodaya network, affiliated with the CBSE, and offer free boarding education from Class VI to XII, emphasising a blend of academic excellence, cultural enrichment and all-round growth. The Mungeshpur school was established in 1987 and runs science & commerce streams at the senior secondary level.

Recent updates include: the JNV schools in Delhi achieved outstanding board exam results in 2025—recording 100 % pass rate in Class X and 98 % in Class XII according to local media reports. In addition, admissions via the JNV Selection Test (JNVST) for Class VI/IX/ XI are open for the session 2026-27, with the admit cards already released and the test scheduled for December. Furthermore, a recent Delhi High Court ruling clarified that JNVs cannot deny admission to eligible students on the grounds of their previous schooling location. For any listicle you publish, you should mention both schools by name, their district/zone within Delhi, and highlight that admissions are through JNVST (with link to the official portal for current dates).
