Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are a large network of specialized residential schools operating across the country, commonly known as NVs. These schools operate under the Ministry of Education, just like Kendriya Vidyalayas, but there are several key differences. The most significant difference is that Navodaya Vidyalayas are fully residential schools, providing free education to talented children from rural areas. The government provides all the facilities, from academics to boarding and lodging, to students. Kendriya Vidyalayas also offer quality education, but require a nominal fee. Let's find out how much teachers earn at Navodaya and Kendriya Vidyalayas.

Completely Free Education at Navodaya
Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas were established to provide better opportunities to meritorious children from rural backgrounds. Therefore, no fees are charged to students studying here. The government bears the expenses of their education, food, hostel, and other essential expenses.

On the other hand, students are required to pay a fee upon enrollment in Kendriya Vidyalayas, although this amount is significantly lower than in other private schools. Both KV and NVS schools aim to provide quality education to all.

Eligibility to Become a Teacher at KV and NVS
To become a teacher at both institutions, Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas, candidates must meet certain basic qualifications. Interested candidates must have a graduation degree with at least 50% marks, and a B.Ed. is mandatory. Qualifying for the CTET is also considered essential. The recruitment process involves a written examination, an interview, document verification, and medical examination.

How Much Do Teachers Get Paid?
Teachers' salaries at Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVSs) are determined based on their educational qualifications and experience, so there is a significant difference in salaries for different positions. Teachers at both KVs and NVSs are paid according to the 7th Pay Commission regulations. Teachers working in the post of Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) can get a salary ranging from approximately Rs 47,600 to Rs 1,51,100 per month.
