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.
