Understanding Your Scorecard

The KVS NVS scorecard provides detailed insights into your performance. Here is what you should look for:

• Total Marks (Raw Score): This is your score calculated based on the final answer key after accounting for the strict -1 negative marking scheme.
• Result Status: This is the most crucial part.
  • "Shortlisted for Tier - II / Interview": You have cleared the cutoff and are moving to the next stage.
  • "Not Shortlisted": Your score was below the required cutoff for your category.

What Next for Shortlisted Candidates?

If your dashboard says "Shortlisted", congratulations! However, the battle is only half won. The Tier 1 exam was primarily a screening test (in a 1:10 ratio for many posts).

1. For Teaching Posts (PGT, TGT, PRT)

• Next Stage: Demo Teaching and Personal Interview.
• Action Plan: Start preparing your lesson plans. The interview panel will heavily test your subject knowledge, pedagogical skills, and your understanding of NEP 2020. Your communication skills in both English and Hindi will be scrutinized.

2. For Non-Teaching Posts (JSA, Stenographer)

• Next Stage: Tier-II Skill Test (Typing/Shorthand) and Computer Proficiency Test (CPT).
• Action Plan: The typing test is strictly qualifying but notoriously difficult due to exam pressure. For JSA, you need 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi. Do not wait for the admit card; start practicing on typing software immediately.

KVS NVS Official Cut-off 2026

While you can see your individual status now, CBSE usually releases a separate PDF document containing the exact category-wise cut-off marks for all posts. We expect this document to be uploaded on the kvsangathan.nic.in website within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Based on initial student feedback, the high negative marking penalty significantly impacted the average scores, bringing the cut-offs lower than historical averages for CBT-based exams.

The declaration of the KVS NVS Tier 1 Result is a monumental step in your career journey. If you made the list, pivot your focus entirely to the next stage. If you didn't, use your scorecard to identify weak areas and prepare for the next opportunity.
