HRD ministry got this positive confirmation few days back from the Law ministry. Law ministry also mentioned the schools as "a class apart" and a class sui generis, the stage is set to keep the Navodaya schools out of the ambit of the critical RTE clause.
Also 2,500 model schools are also likely to get the same exemption as 'special category' school like JNV.
Also there will be no need to amend the RTE Act.
