The Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) evaluates students across various cognitive abilities through its structured question formats. Here’s a detailed look at each part of the test and what it entails:
Part-I: Odd-Man Out
Questions 1 to 4:
- You will be presented with four figures labeled A, B, C, and D.
- Three figures will share a similarity or pattern, while one figure will be different.
- Identify and select the figure that is different from the rest based on the given criteria.
Part-II: Figure Matching
Questions 5 to 8:
- A problem figure is provided on the left side.
- On the right side, four answer figures (A, B, C, D) are given.
- Your task is to find the answer figure that matches the problem figure exactly in terms of components, shapes, and patterns.
Part-III: Pattern Completion
Questions 9 to 12:
- A problem figure with a missing or incomplete part is shown on the left side.
- Analyze the answer figures (A, B, C, D) on the right side to find the one that, when placed in the missing part, completes the pattern of the problem figure.
Part-IV: Figure Series Completion
Questions 13 to 16:
- Three problem figures are provided on the left side, forming a series.
- Identify the fourth figure that logically continues the series from the answer figures (A, B, C, D) provided on the right side.
Part-V: Analogy
Questions 17 to 20:
- Two sets of two problem figures each are presented.
- Determine the relationship between the figures in the first set.
- Find a similar relationship between the third and fourth figures in the second set, replacing the fourth figure (marked as ?) with the appropriate answer figure.
Part-VI: Geometrical Figure Completion
Questions 21 to 24:
- A geometrical figure (question figure) is displayed on the left side with a missing part or section.
- Choose the answer figure (A, B, C, D) on the right side that completes the given geometrical figure logically and symmetrically.
Part-VII: Mirror Imaging
Questions 25 to 28:
- A problem figure is shown on the left side.
- Determine which answer figure (A, B, C, D) on the right side is the mirror image of the problem figure when a mirror is held along the line XY.
Part-VIII: Punched Hole Pattern - Folding/Unfolding
Questions 29 to 32:
- A folded and punched paper pattern (problem figure) is displayed on the left side.
- Choose the answer figure (A, B, C, D) on the right side that represents how the paper will appear when unfolded based on the given folding and punching pattern.
Part-IX: Space Visualization
Questions 33 to 36:
- A problem figure on the left side displays cut-off pieces.
- Determine which answer figure (A, B, C, D) on the right side can be formed using these cut-off pieces rearranged logically.
Part-X: Embedded Figure
Questions 37 to 40:
- A problem figure is shown on the left side.
- Find the answer figure (A, B, C, D) on the right side in which the problem figure is hidden or embedded.
Each part of the JNVST assesses different spatial, reasoning, and analytical abilities of the candidates. Understanding the format and requirements of each question type is crucial for effective preparation. By practicing these question formats, candidates can enhance their problem-solving skills and approach the test day with confidence.

Understanding the Arithmetic Test in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST)
The Arithmetic Test in the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) is designed to assess candidates' foundational skills and understanding in arithmetic. Here’s an in-depth look at its focus, purpose, examples, and covered topics:
Emphasis and Focus
The Arithmetic Test primarily emphasizes testing candidates on their ability to apply arithmetic concepts and skills. It evaluates their understanding of fundamental arithmetic principles and their capacity to solve problems using these principles.
Purpose in Section 2
In Section 2 of the JNVST, the purpose of the Arithmetic Test is to gauge candidates' basic competencies in arithmetic. It aims to assess their grasp of arithmetic concepts and their capability to apply these concepts to solve practical problems.
Examples for Guidance
To assist candidates in understanding the types of questions they may encounter, examples are provided. These examples serve as illustrations of the formats and content that candidates can expect in the Arithmetic Test. They help familiarize candidates with the structure of the test and the types of problems they need to solve.
Topics Covered:
The Arithmetic Test covers a range of topics, ensuring comprehensive assessment of candidates’ arithmetic abilities. Here are the twelve topics included in the test:
1. Number and Numeric System: Understanding numbers and their properties.
2. Four Fundamental Operations on Whole Numbers: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers.
3. Factors and Multiples: Properties and relationships between factors and multiples.
4. Decimals and Fundamental Operations on Them: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division involving decimals.
5. Conversion of Fractions to Decimals and Vice Versa: Understanding and converting fractions and decimals.
6. Measurement: Understanding and using measurements of length, mass, capacity, time, money, etc.
7. Simplification of Numerical Expressions: Evaluating and simplifying mathematical expressions.
8. Fractions: Addition and subtraction of like fractions, multiplication of unlike fractions, and division of fractional numbers.
9. Profit and Loss: Concepts of profit and loss without calculation of percentage.
10. Perimeter and Area: Calculating perimeter of polygons, and area of squares, rectangles, and triangles.
11. Types of Angles: Understanding different types of angles and their applications.
12. Data Analysis: Interpretation and analysis of data using bar diagrams, graphs, and line charts.
The Arithmetic Test in the JNVST aims to comprehensively evaluate candidates' arithmetic skills across various foundational topics. Candidates are advised to prepare thoroughly by practicing problems related to these topics to enhance their understanding and proficiency.
For further details and practice materials, candidates can refer to the official website of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) or consult preparatory guides designed for the JNVST.
