Admission

For RPVVs

An entrance test is conducted every year. This is the only gateway for admission in the RPVVs. Admission of students is in 6th,9th and 11th standards. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no entrance test was held for the 2020–21 school year. Class 11th admissions are held on the merit base of CBSE results of standard 10th.
