Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are among India's most reputed government-run schools, known for their high academic standards and uniform curriculum across the country. Every year, thousands of parents seek admission for their children into KVs. On Thursday (April 17, 2025), Kendriya Vidyalaya released the online admission selection list for 2025-26. If you are looking for Class 2 admission, here's a simple guide to help you through the process.
KVS Class 2 Admission Dates
For the academic year 2025-26, the KVS admission process is expected to begin in the third week of April 2025. Unlike Class 1 admissions, which require an online lottery system, Class 2 admissions are conducted offline and depend on seat availability. Parents can fill their children's admission form online and submit it on KVS' official website kvsangathan.nic.in.
KVS Class 2 Admission Portal
Parents can visit the official website of the specific Kendriya Vidyalaya they are applying to or physically go to the school office.
Each KV will upload a notice about available seats, eligibility criteria and application forms on its own website. Parents can also download the application form, fill it manually, and submit it to the school office within the stipulated time.
You can find the list of Kendriya Vidyalayas and their websites on the official Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan site: https://kvsangathan.nic.in.
