Provisional list dates announced

Following the closure of registrations, KVS will release the first provisional admission list for Balvatika 1, 2 and 3 on April 8, 2026. For Class 1, the list is scheduled to be published on April 9.

However, in Assam, Kerala and Puducherry, the provisional lists for both Class 1 and Balvatika will be announced on April 10, considering polling activities due to the General Elections in these regions.

Eligibility criteria for Class 1

To apply for admission to Class 1, a child must be six years old as of March 31 of the academic year. Children born on April 1 are also eligible for consideration.

Parents are required to submit a valid proof of age, such as a birth certificate issued by a recognised authority. Accepted documents include records issued by municipal bodies, notified area councils, village panchayats, military hospitals or service records of defence personnel.

Important instructions for applicants

KVS has clarified that in schools operating in double shifts, each shift will be treated as a separate institution for admission purposes, and no request for a shift change will be entertained later.

If multiple applications are submitted for the same child in one Kendriya Vidyalaya, only the last submitted form will be considered valid.

Additionally, the address provided during the application process will be treated as final for determining neighbourhood eligibility. Requests for changes will generally not be accepted, except in specific cases such as government employees relocating to official accommodation after the admission lists are released.
