How the KVS lottery system works
KVS uses a computerized lottery to allocate available seats fairly and transparently; applications are processed in predefined categories before random selection within each category.
- Applications are classified into RTE quota, service priority categories and reserved categories.
- Selection is performed randomly within each category to determine the order of allotment.
Result statuses and their meanings
The provisional list and associated PDF include clear status indicators for each application; candidates should interpret them as follows.
- Selected: Child has been shortlisted; parents must complete admission formalities without delay.
- Waiting list: Admission depends on seat availability and subsequent merit lists.
- Lottery number: Indicates the candidate’s rank in the selection order within their category.
Documents required and next steps
Selected candidates must complete document verification and admission formalities by the deadline; missing the deadline may result in seat cancellation.
- Birth certificate
- Residence proof
- Passport-size photographs
- Service certificate (if applicable)
- Caste certificate (if applicable)
- Income certificate (for RTE applicants)
Next actions for selected and waiting list candidates

- Waiting list candidates: Monitor the portal for the second and third lists published on 16 and 21 April 2026; vacant seats will be offered to next eligible applicants.
