autonomous organization. Navodaya Vidyalayas are
fully residential, co-educational institutions,
providing education up to senior secondary
stage. Education in NVS including boarding and
lodging, textbooks, uniform, etc. is free for
all students. The Scheme started with two

The test is designed and conducted by the
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
