The MAT is a non-verbal test — all questions are based on figures and diagrams only. No reading is required. The purpose is to assess the general mental ability and intelligence of the candidate. The MAT is divided into 5 parts with 4 questions each:
- Part I — Pattern Completion (Questions 1–4): A problem figure has a missing part. Candidates must identify which answer figure (A, B, C, or D) correctly completes the pattern without changing direction. Includes alphabetical and number patterns

- Part IV — Mirror and Water Imaging (Questions 12–16): A problem figure is shown with a mirror held at line XY. Candidates select the answer figure that is the exact mirror image of the problem figure

Part B: Environmental Studies (EVS) — 20 Questions, 25 Marks

JNVST 2027 Class 6 Syllabus — Section 2: Arithmetic Test
Section 2 of the JNVST 2027 Class 6 Selection Test Syllabus covers Arithmetic, with 20 questions for 25 marks in 30 minutes. The emphasis is on understanding and application of concepts, not just rote calculations. The complete arithmetic syllabus (12 topics) is:
- Topic 1 — Number System: Number and numeric system including ascending order, descending order, nearest number, number names, place value — up to 10, 100, 1000
- Topic 2 — Four Fundamental Operations: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and their properties
- Topic 3 — Factors and Multiples: Factors, multiples, LCM, HCF and their properties; prime factorization (e.g. prime factorization of 1000 = 2×2×2×5×5×5)

- Topic 9 — Data Analysis: Reading and interpreting data using bar diagrams, tables, and pictographs — questions based on basic data handling and averages
Key Preparation Tip: JNVST Arithmetic questions test understanding, not just calculation speed. Focus on why a formula works rather than just memorising it. For example: average of first four odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7) = (1+3+5+7)/4 = 4. Practice concept-based questions from Class V NCERT Mathematics.
JNVST 2027 Class 6 Syllabus — Section 3: Language Test
Section 3 of the JNVST 2027 Class 6 Selection Test Syllabus is the Language Test — 20 questions for 25 marks in 30 minutes. This section tests reading comprehension of candidates. The test consists of four passages, each followed by 5 questions. There are no grammar or vocabulary theory questions directly — all answers come from reading and understanding the passages.
- Format: 4 passages × 5 questions each = 20 questions total
- Question Types from Each Passage:
- Direct comprehension questions (what, who, when, where)
- Vocabulary questions — antonyms (opposite) of words used in passage (e.g. opposite of “preservation” = “destruction”)
- Synonym identification — which word is NOT a synonym of the given word (e.g. “wise” — sensible, intelligent, judicious, but NOT humorous)
- Inference questions — what can be concluded from the passage
- Cause and effect questions — what happens if a condition changes
- Passage Topics: Passages may cover forests, wildlife, nature, social stories, history, geography, science topics — all appropriate for Class V level reading
- Language Medium: This test is conducted in the language opted by the candidate in the application form — available in 29+ regional languages. Once selected, the language CANNOT be changed
Key Preparation Tip: Practice reading short passages in your chosen language and answering comprehension questions. Focus on finding synonyms, antonyms, and drawing logical conclusions from text. Read regularly in your opted language to build fluency and speed for the Language Test section of JNVST 2027.
