Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are Indian residential schools for talented children that follow CBSE Curriculum with the three-language formula (English, Hindi, and Regional Language (Malayalam)). They form a part of the system of gifted education. The objectives of the scheme were to provide good quality modern education to talented children predominantly from the rural areas, without regard to their family's socio-economic condition.

The Vidyalaya is about 4 km (2.5 mi) east of Pathippalam, Near Chendayad Village in Thalassery Taluk, It is located on a hillock called Bhagavad Padapuri, North of Chendayad, West of Cheruvancherry village, and East of Valliyayi Desam. The entire area is made up of laterite rock. No major vegetation is found except a few cashew trees. Yet the site is apt for the functioning of the school. The approach road is from Valliyayi Desam about 2 km (1.2 mi) down the hill.[1]

Admissions

Students are admitted to the VIth Standard through a test called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST). Only those students who are currently studying in Vth standard in Government/Aided Schools and Government Recognized Schools are eligible to apply for the test. Another test called Lateral Entry Selection Test (LEST) for admissions to IXth standard is also conducted by the CBSE to accommodate students who wish to join Navodaya Schools, subject to the availability of vacant seats in IXth standard. Lateral Entry is also made for class XI admission.
