Important: Admission eligibility, syllabus, dates and test instructions may change by admission year. Always verify the current official prospectus or information bulletin before applying.
1. Always verify the current prospectus first
The official Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti website is the authority for the current admission notification, syllabus, eligibility and examination instructions. Download the relevant Class VI prospectus and use it as the final checklist. Coaching websites and older papers are supplementary resources, not substitutes.2. Mental ability and reasoning
This area develops observation and logical thinking. Practise identifying patterns, matching figures, odd-one-out questions, analogies, sequences, figure completion and spatial relationships using age-appropriate material. Encourage students to describe the rule they noticed before selecting an answer.3. Arithmetic and number skills
Build confidence with place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, measurement, time, money and practical word problems where included in the current syllabus. Use objects, number lines and everyday examples to make concepts concrete. Teach estimation so students can check whether an answer is sensible.4. Language and comprehension
Read short passages regularly. Ask questions about the main idea, supporting details, sequence of events and meaning of words. Practise reading instructions carefully. Students should learn to locate evidence in a passage instead of guessing from one familiar word.5. A simple revision method
Use a three-part cycle: learn a concept, practise a small set of questions, and revisit it after a gap. Keep a record of questions that were difficult and return to them during weekly revision. Mix topics only after the student has understood them individually.6. Use papers responsibly
Previous-year papers can familiarise students with question presentation and test conditions. Check that the paper is authentic and relevant. Do not assume that every future paper will repeat the same distribution or pattern; the current official prospectus takes priority.Frequently asked questions
Is an online syllabus chart enough?
No. Use the official prospectus for the admission year. Online summaries may omit changes or important eligibility instructions.
Should children memorise answers?
Reasoning and arithmetic require understanding and practice. Memorising isolated answers is not a reliable preparation strategy.
How often should students revise?
Short, frequent revision sessions are generally more effective than leaving all revision until the final weeks. Adapt the routine to the child.
