The hostels are each divided into two sections, one for senior students (IX, X, XI XII standard) and other for junior students (VI, VII, VIII standard). The separate hostels for girls also have the same criteria of division.

The aim of the exchange program is focused on national integration. According to the scheme, selected 30% of 9th class students are exchanged between JNVs of non-Hindi speaking region and Hindi speaking region, for one year and students of two collaborated navodayas are taught language of their associated state as third language for four years, from class 6th-9th. JNV Doda has such exchange programme of migration of IXth class students with JNV Bareilly in UP.
