The Ministry of Education has taken a significant step towards streamlining recruitment for teaching and non-teaching posts in central educational institutions. The latest development is the assignment of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to conduct a Common Recruitment Exam for both the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS).
Common Recruitment Exam By CBSE for KVS & NVS
Recently, as per an affidavit submitted in the High Court of Delhi, the Ministry of Education decided to handle recruitment for all teaching and non-teaching positions in KVS and NVS through a single KVS & NVS Joint Recruitment examination conducted by CBSE. This measure will cover posts arising up to 31st December 2025, including vacancies for Special Educators.
The Ministry of Education’s move to authorise CBSE with the joint recruitment for KVS and NVS signifies a major policy shift, aiming for fairness, efficiency, and simplicity. Aspirants planning for these recruitment exams should follow official updates for further details.

- Efficiency: Conducting a joint recruitment exam will likely reduce administrative delays and make the overall process more efficient.​
- Equal Opportunity:Â Applicants for both KVS and NVS posts will have standard eligibility and testing criteria, promoting equality.
