Navodaya Class 6 2nd Selection List: Did your child narrowly miss the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) Class 6 first selection? Don’t lose hope! A significant opportunity has arrived with the release of the Navodaya Class 6 2nd Selection List (Waiting List) 2025, aiming to fill approximately 50,000 vacant seats across India.
Why the Second List?
Following the massive JNV Selection Test (JNVST) 2025, where nearly 20 lakh students appeared across two phases (Phase 1: Jan 18, Results Mar 25; Phase 2: Apr 12, Results May 16), many Navodaya schools discovered numerous seats remained unfilled after the initial admissions. To ensure these valuable spots go to deserving candidates, individual JNVs are now releasing district-specific second merit lists (waiting lists).
Who is Eligible for the Waiting List?
This crucial second chance is specifically for students who:
- Appeared for the JNVST 2025 for Class 6 admission.
- Scored marks very close to the original category and district cutoff.
- Were not selected in the first round of admissions.
How is the 2nd Selection List Being Released?
Unlike the centralized main results, the waiting list is managed at the school/district level:
- School-Driven: Each JNV identifies its vacant seats.
- District-Wise Lists: Schools prepare merit-based waiting lists specific to their district.
- Local Publication: Lists are released as PDF documents primarily via:
- The official website of your local/district Navodaya Vidyalaya.
- School notice boards.
- Direct SMS or Email (to some candidates).
- Not centrally on navodaya.gov.in for this list.
