Where and How to Check the Lottery Result (step-by-step)
- Open either kvsangathan.nic.in or admission.kvs.gov.in . These are the official sites for KVS एडमिशन 2026 results.
- Find the 'Lottery Result' or 'Admission' link on the homepage. Click it.
- You will need the Login Code you received at registration. Also keep the child’s birth date and the parent mobile number used at registration handy.
- Enter Login Code, parent name or mobile number if requested, fill the CAPTCHA and submit.
- The site will show your selected schools and the status (selected/waitlisted/not selected). You can also download the PDF list of selected names for each school and search the PDF using Ctrl+F.
What to download and keep: the specific school PDF showing names, your submission screenshot, and any challan or payment receipt the portal generates.
If the portal shows no entry or mentions ‘benefit of child’ only, contact the school immediately and keep a copy of the online result.
Interpreting the Lottery Lists: First List, Second List and Offline Options
KVS runs a computerised/digital lottery across categories — RTE, service priority, reserved categories and general. That creates multiple lists: first (provisional), second, third and waiting lists.
If your child is on the first list: you have priority to complete admission formalities by the deadline ( 30 June 2026 for first list). Pay any challan if the portal requires, and visit the school for document verification.
If your child appears in the third list (published 21 April 2026 ): act fast. Some seats filled by first and second lists get vacated later; the third list fills those vacant seats.
If your child is waitlisted or not selected: there may still be offline admission windows. KVS may advertise offline registrations (for RTE/SC/ST/OBC categories and leftover seats). The advertised offline registration window noted is 22–26 April 2026 — participate if your child is eligible.
For Class 2 and above: KVS usually runs offline admission for available seats. If you applied for higher classes, check the concerned school notice or the regional KVS office for local lists.
Documents Required for Admission (Checklist)
Carry originals and self-attested photocopies. Schools will verify originals and retain copies as per norms.
Essential documents you must have:
- Child’s birth certificate (original + copy).
- Proof of residence: parent’s address proof (Aadhaar, electricity bill, passport, ration card) — original + copy.
- Child’s passport-size photographs (recent).
- Category certificate if applicable: SC/ST/OBC/EWS (valid and signed), or BPL certificate where claimed.
- Service certificate / Service priority : for Central government/defence employees — department/service certificate as per KVS format.
- Distance self-declaration for RTE claims: a signed self-declaration about home-school distance (if the RTE seat depends on distance).
Additional points on identity and proofs:
- Keep the parent/guardian’s mobile number ready — schools often cross-check the registration SMS or login details.
- If you have special cases (adoption, guardianship), carry legal documents supporting guardianship.
How to Complete Site-based Admission Steps (Step-by-step)
- Login at admission.kvs.gov.in with your Login Code.
- Locate the lottery result for the school you opted for. Download the school PDF and take a screenshot of your child’s entry.
- If the portal requires a challan/payment for seat confirmation, generate and pay it before the deadline. Save the payment receipt.
- Visit the allotted Kendriya Vidyalaya with originals and photocopies for verification within the school’s announced timeframe.
- Get an admission receipt or acknowledgement from the school after verification. Keep it safely; it proves completion of admission.
If the portal shows a manual/offline confirmation step, follow the school’s instruction immediately. Don’t wait — seats are time-sensitive.
RTE Quota: How the 25% Seats Work and How to Apply
RTE provides 25% seats in KVS schools where applicable. RTE seats are processed within the lottery system but follow a different priority order.
Eligibility basics for claiming RTE:
- Child must meet local eligibility conditions the school lists. Keep proof of residence ready.
- RTE usually requires a self-declaration of distance or other locally required proofs; check the school notice.
- Category documents (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/BPL) work alongside RTE claims where applicable.
How to apply under RTE during this KVS exercise:
- If the portal allows RTE claim during registration, ensure you ticked the option and uploaded required documents.
- For offline RTE registration windows (if announced), submit the RTE documents at the specified school or regional office during the window ( 22–26 April 2026 , where advertised).
Common Problems and Troubleshooting
Login code not working: double-check the code and the mobile number used during registration. Clear browser cache or try a different browser.
No SMS or OTP: the portal uses the registered mobile. If the SMS didn’t come, check network, then contact the school or regional help desk.
Captcha errors and submission failures: copy the login fields into a simple text file then paste them when required. Use Chrome or Firefox and disable auto-fill.
Name or date mismatch: if the parent name or child birth date was entered incorrectly at registration, bring proof (birth certificate, registration receipt) to the school and request correction during verification.
If your child’s name is missing from all lists: keep evidence of your original registration (registration slip/screenshot). Attend any offline registration window and contact the regional KVS office for guidance.
What If You Miss the First List Deadline? Alternatives and Next Steps
If you miss the first list deadline ( 30 June 2026 ) for confirming admission, do not panic. Possible next steps:
- Watch for subsequent lists (second/third/waitlist) and any offline registration notice. KVS runs more than one list and may open offline registration if seats remain.
- Visit your preferred school — sometimes schools accept direct offline applications for Class 2+ or leftover Class 1 seats following local rules.
- Contact the regional KVS office to ask about any late admission or special vacancy procedures.
Realistic expectations: after the first list deadline, seats reduce. But leftover seats do appear in subsequent lists or offline rounds, especially in larger cities where parents decline offers.
