The deadline for online applications for lateral entry selection test (LEST-2027) for vacant seats in classes 9 and 11 at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Shimla district, has been extended to 22 October 2026. Principal Roshan Lal of JNV Theog issued the notice, requesting all high and senior secondary school principals in Shimla to inform eligible students.

Eligible students can apply online through separate links for each class. Corrections to submitted forms will be allowed from 23 to 25 October 2026. The lateral entry is for the academic session 2027-28.
The extension gives students in Shimla district an extra window to apply for seats in the centrally run Navodaya schools. The principal's direct appeal to school heads suggests the administration is trying to fill all vacancies before the academic year. The correction window from 23 to 25 October means applicants who miss the 22 October deadline for a perfect first submission still have a second chance to fix errors. The key event remains the LEST-2027 exam itself, whose date is not specified in the notice.
