Use the timeline table for government-referenced exam dates. When a record only states that results were handed to NVS, it is not relabelled as the public result declaration date.

The available PDFs cover Class VI summer-bound exams in 2025 and 2026 and Class IX LEST 2025. These are minimum-mark records, not candidate-specific result or selection lists.
Always verify final results, dates, documents and admission directions through official NVS sources.
