Guides
JNV and Navodaya preparation guides
Each guide answers one study question. The class pages, syllabus and exam pattern stay the parent pages. A guide does not repeat them.

How the clusters fit
Class 6 guides assume you already know the three sections, including environmental studies in the 2027-28 prospectus. Class 9 guides assume a subject paper and a vacancy check. Habit guides are for both, and they do not restate the whole exam.
