JNV syllabus for Class 6 and Class 9
Parents looking for JNV syllabus, JNVST syllabus or नवोदय का सिलेबस need the Samiti’s list, not a coaching paraphrase that dropped a section. Below, official topics are marked separately from the way NT Classes suggests you practise them.

Official information
Class 6 mental ability
In the 2027-28 Class VI prospectus the first 20 questions are non-verbal. Five parts have four questions each: pattern completion, figure series, geometrical figure completion, mirror and water images, and embedded figures.
Official information
Class 6 environmental studies
Questions 21 to 40 of the same section are EVS: 15 multiple-choice items and one passage with 5 questions. The prospectus describes the scope as the natural world, the human body, science in daily life, and social surroundings. An older enrolment-policy page on navodaya.gov.in does not show this EVS block. Follow the prospectus for your session.
Official information
Class 6 arithmetic
All twenty arithmetic questions are meant to test understanding, not a trick. Topics named in the 2027-28 prospectus include the number system, the four operations, factors and multiples, fractions, measurement and unit conversion, simplification, perimeter and area, angles, and data shown in a bar diagram, table or pictograph. The fraction note says unlike fractions and division of fractions are not included. The prospectus heading refers to a longer topic count than the items that extracted cleanly from the PDF, so open the PDF before you treat any coaching list as complete.
Official information
Class 6 language
The language test assesses reading comprehension. It has four passages, and each passage has five questions. The booklet language is the one selected on the application, and the prospectus says it cannot be changed afterwards.

How NT Classes uses this list
Notes and daily papers should be checked against the list above, not against a ten-year-old booklet. If a PDF and the current prospectus disagree, follow the prospectus. The class pages describe the evening course. The skill guides describe how to practise one section.
