KVS Class 1 Admission Guide for Parents

Getting admission in a Kendriya Vidyalaya is competitive, especially in cities. This guide helps parents navigate the process smoothly.

Step-by-Step Registration Process

  1. Visit kvsonlineadmission.kvs.gov.in
  2. Click "New Registration" → Enter child's details
  3. Upload passport-size photo (max 50KB, JPEG format)
  4. Select up to 3 KVs in order of preference
  5. Fill parent details and service certificate (if applicable)
  6. Submit application → Take printout of registration slip

Tips to Improve Admission Chances

  • Apply to multiple KVs: You can apply to 3 KVs — choose less crowded ones
  • Service certificate: Government employees get priority — ensure certificate is attested
  • Sibling advantage: If an older child is already in the KV, younger sibling gets priority
  • RTE quota: 25% seats reserved for economically weaker sections (EWS) — check eligibility
  • Distance matters: KVs give preference to children living within a certain radius

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wrong date of birth (must match birth certificate exactly)
  • Uploading incorrect photo format/size
  • Not selecting correct priority category
  • Missing the registration deadline (no extension given)
  • Not visiting KV within 5 days after lottery selection (seat cancelled)
