The Class VI prospectus states that at least 75% of seats in a district are filled from rural candidates. Remaining seats are open merit seats, available to rural and urban candidates. Calling open quota an urban quota would incorrectly exclude rural candidates.
Rural seats and open seats
The Class VI prospectus states that at least 75% of seats in a district are filled from rural candidates. Remaining seats are open merit seats, available to rural and urban candidates. Calling open quota an urban quota would incorrectly exclude rural candidates.
Why rural UR varies by block
Rural-open seats are allocated block-wise based on rural population under NVS criteria. The 2025 cut-off PDF explicitly notes block-wise reservation only for Rural-UR. A district can therefore have different Rural-UR marks across blocks.
Always verify final results, dates, documents and admission directions through official NVS sources.
School location decides area status
For Class VI, school study location and its notified rural/urban classification during Classes III, IV and V determine area status. Rural residence alone does not establish rural eligibility. Check the current prospectus and supporting study records.
Category and girls provisions
The prospectus provides SC/ST reservation related to district population with national minima of 15% and 7.5%, subject to a combined ceiling of 50%; OBC reservation is 27% using the central list. At least one-third of total seats are filled by girls. These conditions overlap and should not be added as independent slices of a pie chart.
Use the guide alongside the original document
This guide explains the relevant Navodaya Vidyalaya selection-test rules in plain language, but the class-specific prospectus and subsequent official notices govern an individual application. Open the linked PDF at the relevant page, confirm your academic session and preserve the current notice. If your district, category or study situation has a special condition, ask the responsible JNV or official help channel before assuming a general example applies.
