The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) is closing the online registration for Balvatika and Class 1 admissions for the 2026-27 academic session today, April 2, 2026. Parents must complete the application process by midnight on the official portal, admission.kvs.gov.in. Following the application deadline, KVS will implement a lottery system for Class 1 admissions and release provisional lists for Balvatika levels on April 8, 2026. However, in Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry, the provisional list release has been rescheduled to April 10, 2026, due to the General Elections. The admissions for Class 1 are conducted without a written test or interview, and selected candidates must verify documents and pay fees at their assigned schools. Parents can apply by visiting the KVS website, filling out the registration form, and ensuring their child's age meets the eligibility criteria: children must be 6 to 8 years old by March 31, 2026, with some relaxation for children with special needs. The seat allocation follows government mandates, reserving seats for disadvantaged groups, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes.
