My daughter apply in class 6 Jnvst exam this year. Currently I am residing at Vadodara, Gujarat and next year transfer to ahmedabad. Can I get admission/transfer my admission shift from Vadodara to ahmedabad

If your daughter appeared for the Class 6 JNVST entry this year, the second selection list (waiting list) is issued school by school , not centrally. Many schools released their lists in early April 2025 , while a number,including those in Gujarat published them as late as 11 July 2025 : jnvresults.com (https://jnvresults.com/jnvst-class-6th-2nd-selection-list-2025-out/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) muresult.com (https://muresult.com/navodaya-class-6-second-list-out-2025/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) .

What you can do:

  • Check the notice board and website of your local JNV (Vadodara), or call the school office,they often post the list there or inform parents directly .

  • If your daughter's name appears, make sure to complete admission steps promptly by submitting required documents such as her birth certificate, residence proof, and category certificates.

The nvs official website is not working so how can we check the jnvst class 6 phase-2 result??

If the Navodaya official website (navodaya.gov.in) is down, you can still check the JNVST Class 6 Phase 2 result through the alternate website, cbseitms.nic.in, or by using the SMS service, or by checking for district-wise displays in schools.

You'll need your roll number and date of birth to access the result.

If online options are unavailable, consider contacting the regional NVS office or visiting a nearby school for assistance.

Good luck!!
