KVS NVS Recruitment (Image: Patrika)

KVS NVS Recruitment 2025: A significant recruitment drive for teaching and non-teaching positions is underway in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS). Over 1.1 million candidates have applied so far in the online application process, which began on November 14. However, many applicants are complaining that they are unable to proceed with their applications on the portal.

In response to these complaints, CBSE has officially stated that there are no technical issues with the portal. The problem arises because many candidates are selecting qualifications during the application process that do not match the mandatory qualifications mentioned in the notification. Furthermore, the board has clarified that although many posts in KVS and NVS may have similar names, their educational qualifications differ. Consequently, the application does not proceed if an incorrect option is selected. The board has advised applicants to read the full notification carefully before filling out the form.

When will the exam be held?

The Tier-1 examination for this combined recruitment of 14,967 posts will be conducted on January 10 and 11, 2026. The last date for application is December 4, 2025. Candidates can apply by visiting the official website of CBSE or the KVS/NVS websites.

  • Total Posts: 14,967
