Top 5 Strategies for JNVST 2026 Preparation

Preparing for the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) 2026 requires a strategic approach to excel in this highly competitive exam. Whether you're aiming for Class 6 or Class 9, these top 5 strategies from All Rounder BSS will help you build a strong foundation and boost your chances of success.

1. Master Mental Ability for Class 6

For Class 6, the Mental Ability Test (MAT) carries significant weight (40% of the total marks). Focus on practicing questions like pattern recognition, analogies, odd-one-out, and figure series. Use resources like previous years’ papers and practice books to enhance your problem-solving skills.

  • Practice 20-30 questions daily on topics like figure completion and mirror images.
  • Use visual aids and puzzles to improve spatial reasoning.
  • Join All Rounder BSS mock tests to simulate exam conditions.

2. Prioritize Mathematics and Science for Class 9

For Class 9, Mathematics and General Science account for 70% of the JNVST score. Focus on key topics like algebra, geometry, physics, and chemistry from NCERT textbooks. Solve numerical problems and practice science concepts daily to build confidence.

  • Revise NCERT chapters for Class 8 and 9 Mathematics and Science.
  • Practice sample papers to understand question patterns.
  • Enroll in our live classes for expert explanations of complex topics.

3. Leverage NCERT Textbooks

NCERT textbooks are the cornerstone of JNVST preparation. For Class 6, focus on Class 5 and 6 NCERT books for Mathematics and Language. For Class 9, use Class 8 and 9 NCERT books for Mathematics, Science, and English/Hindi. These books align closely with the exam syllabus.

4. Practice with Mock Tests and Previous Papers

Regular practice with mock tests and previous years’ question papers is essential to understand the exam format and improve time management. All Rounder BSS offers mock tests tailored for JNVST, helping you identify weak areas and track progress.

5. Develop a Study Schedule with Time Management

Create a balanced study schedule that allocates time for each section (Mental Ability, Arithmetic, Language for Class 6; English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science for Class 9). Dedicate 2-3 hours daily to revision and practice, with weekly reviews to reinforce concepts.

  • Allocate 1 hour daily to Mental Ability for Class 6.
  • Spend 1.5 hours on Mathematics and Science for Class 9.
  • Revise weak topics every weekend.
