New Delhi, April 9, 2026: The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) has officially released the first provisional lottery result for Class 1 admissions for the academic session 2026–27. Parents and guardians who registered their children for admission can now access the selection lists and waiting lists on the official KVS portals.
This year, the admission process saw a massive influx of applications from across the country. To ensure transparency and fairness, KVS utilizes a computerized lottery system that randomly selects candidates based on specific priority categories and reservation norms.
How to Check KVS Class 1 Lottery Result 2026
Parents can check the results through multiple channels. Follow these simple steps to find your child’s status:
Access the Lottery Result Link: On the homepage, look for the tab or link labeled “Check Application Status” or “Lottery Result.”
Enter Credentials: You will need to log in using your Login Code, Date of Birth of the child, and Mobile Number used during registration.
School-Specific Search: Alternatively, you can visit the individual website of the specific Kendriya Vidyalaya you applied to. Navigate to the “Announcements” section to download the PDF merit list.
Offline Display: Most KVs also display the selection list on their physical notice boards at the school entrance.
Understanding the Selection List: Terms to Know
When viewing the result, you might encounter specific terms. Here is what they mean:
Selected: Your child has been provisionally shortlisted for admission. You must report to the school within the stipulated time for document verification.
Waiting List (WL): The child is on standby. If a “Selected” candidate fails to complete the admission or lacks proper documentation, the seat will be offered to those in the waiting list in order of their rank.
