Understanding the JNVST Cut-Off Marks 2025
The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti does not release a standardized passing mark. Instead, selection of candidate is purely based on a merit-based system that accounts for local competition and specific reservation quotas.
Expected Cut-Off Range (Estimated)
Based on historical data and the difficulty level of recent papers, the following scores (out of 100) are typically required for selection:
General Category: 71 – 76 Marks
OBC Category: 69 – 70 Marks
SC Category: 60 – 68 Marks
ST Category: 55 – 60 Marks
Factors Influencing Selection
Rural vs. Urban: 75% of seats in a district are strictly reserved for candidates from rural areas.
Gender Reservation: At least one-third (33%) of the selected students must be girls.
PH Quota: 3% of seats are reserved for students with disabilities.
JNVST Exam Pattern: A Quick Overview
To understand the merit list, one must look at how students are evaluated. The exam consists of three main sections designed to test logical reasoning and foundational academic skills:
