What this recruitment cycle is

This is the combined KVS + NVS Teaching and Non-Teaching cycle for 2026, conducted by CBSE on behalf of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. Both are autonomous bodies under the Ministry of Education running central government schools across India. KVS schools serve children of central government employees, defence personnel, Railway staff and PSU employees. NVS schools are district-level residential schools for talented rural students. Combined intake: 15,762 posts across Principal, Vice Principal, PGT, TGT, PRT, Librarian and non-teaching support staff. The Tier-II Mains is the deciding round for merit.

Tier-II exam pattern in detail

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes total. The hybrid OMR + descriptive format is unique to this CBSE-KVS-NVS cycle — most central recruitments are pure CBT now.

How to raise an objection — before 11:59 PM tonight

1. Login at cbseit.in/cbse/2026/kvjnvkeyt2/ with your Registration Number + Date of Birth.
2. Click "Raise Objection" on the candidate dashboard.
3. Select the question number you dispute.
4. Upload supporting evidence as a PDF or image: NCERT page, recruiter syllabus page, or official gazette / government notification. Coaching-material screenshots are rejected outright.
5. Pay ₹1,000 per challenge via Net Banking / Debit Card / Credit Card / UPI.
6. Submit and download the receipt. The receipt is your proof of timely submission.
7. CBSE subject committee will review each objection during the final-key preparation. Accepted objections trigger fee refund + answer revision.

Provisional vs Final answer key — and the ₹1,000 cost filter

At ₹1,000 per challenge, this fee is on the higher end — matching the EMRS Tier-II rate. Practical implication: if you have 2-3 strong NCERT-backed challenges, file all of them. If you are guessing on 10+ questions, the cost-benefit does not work in your favour. Be selective.

What happens after tonight

• Subject committee review: CBSE expert panel reviews every accepted objection.
• Final answer key release: Within 2 to 4 weeks (June 2026).
• Tier-II result: Published immediately after, with category-wise and post-wise cut-offs.
• Skill test / Interview: Post-dependent. Principal and Vice Principal candidates appear for a personal interview. PGT / TGT / PRT / Librarian candidates may have a skill test or demonstrative class.
• Document verification: Originals of Class 10 + 12 marksheets, qualifying degree, B.Ed / M.Ed for teaching posts, CTET certificate for TGT and PRT (mandatory), age proof, caste / EWS / PwD certificate as applicable.
• Final posting: At a Kendriya Vidyalaya (KVS) or Navodaya Vidyalaya (NVS) pan-India.
