Kangpokpi, July 24 2022: Reacting to the allegation of Kangpokpi JNV Selected Candidates Guardians' Association, KSO Sadar Hills has urged the guardians' association to be aware of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti admission guidelines before raising any allegations.

The Guardian Association had accused Kangpokpi ZEO of refusing to countersign on the admission forms of those selected students, whose permanent addresses are not Kangpokpi district, and demanded admission to JNV of Imphal East or West.

The student body pointed out that as per NVS admission guidelines and prospectus for JNV Selection Test 2022 for admission to Class VI, under eligible criteria 4.1, it is clearly stated that a candidate applying for admission to JNV should be from the district where the JNV is located, while 4.2 stated that the candidate should be studying in Class V in a government/government aided or recognised school in that district.

KSO has been strictly monitoring the admission process to avoid violation of the NVS admission guidelines so that the genuine students get admission as per the guidelines.

It stated that there are many candidates from various communities, who are permanent residents of Kangpokpi district, and there is no problem in their admission process.

There is nothing communal over the refusal to countersign by ZEO Kangpokpi, rather she is acting as per the NVS admission guidelines, the student body said.

If the guardians' association is not aware of the NVS admission guidelines, they should first be aware of it instead of making such absurd allegations, it added.

It further said that the Deputy Commissioner (Exam), NVS, had requested the Deputy Commissioner, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti of all regional offices to instruct the Principal of JNV in their respective jurisdiction to verify the residential status and class V/VIII status before confirming the admission of provisionally selected candidates in Classes VI/IX from the session 2022-2023. The Deputy Commissioner (Exam) also informed the DC, JNV of all regional offices that in some JNVs, candidates from other districts are being admitted, and hence it has been decided that for future admission to Class VI/ IX, submission of proof of address in the same district along with documents for which the applicants have applied, will be mandatory.

Meanwhile, KSO Sadar Hills stated that it has come to its knowledge that some officials from the district are issuing false certificates to the students, who are seeking admission to JNV Kangpokpi, against the NVS guidelines, and they will be strictly monitoring such unprofessional practice of officials from the district and the admission process at the JNV Kangpokpi.

The student body also strongly urged the DC Kangpokpi to take appropriate action against such officials indulging in such unprofessional conduct.
