NVS Interview: What to Expect

The “Personal Interaction” is conducted offline at Nodal JNVs. Unlike a standard corporate interview, the NVS panel focuses on:

• Teaching Demonstration: You may be asked to teach a concept on a blackboard for 5–10 minutes.
• Residential Suitability: Situational questions may be asked, such as how you will handle a student feeling homesick at night.
• ICT Skills: Questions may be asked to assess your ability to use Smart Boards and Google Classroom, which is an important criterion.
