This is a crucial alert from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for every candidate applying for the massive 14,967 teaching and non-teaching posts in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS).
The application process started on November 14 and is set to conclude on December 4, 2025. Here’s the raw report on the issues applicants are facing and the solutions provided by the Board.

Immediate Alert: The Qualification Mismatch Problem
Many candidates are getting stuck. The portal is preventing them from moving forward, showing a message that they “do not meet the essential qualification criteria for the selected post.”
The Thing Is: The Difference in Rules
CBSE has clarified this is not a technical glitch, but a fundamental eligibility mismatch.
-
The Core Issue: Qualifications for many posts in KVS and NVS are not similar, even if the post name (like PGT or TGT) is identical.
-
The Result: The application portal has multiple dropdown options for qualifications against a single post name to accommodate the different criteria of the two organizations.
-
CBSE’s Direct Advice: Candidates are strictly advised to read the detailed official notification (01/2025) thoroughly and carefully before applying. You must select the qualification from the dropdown menu that exactly matches the eligibility criteria for the specific post in the specific organization (KVS or NVS) you are applying for. Selecting an incorrect qualification will block your application.
Payment Update & Refund Issues
The other major complaint is about payments failing or the application status not updating after a successful payment.
-
The Solution: If the transaction is not updated on the portal, you must pay the fee again.
-
Here’s the Kicker: The amount from the earlier, failed transaction will be automatically refunded to your bank account within a week’s time. Do not panic; do not raise a separate request. The refund is processed systemically.
