JNU UG 2026 Admission: Important Dates

The timeline for JNU’s undergraduate and Certificate of Proficiency programmes for the 2026-27 academic session has been clearly defined, with the current phase marking the culmination of the admission process. Candidates should meticulously adhere to the deadlines to avoid missing this final opportunity.

The online registration and application process for JNU UG and COP programmes for the 2026-27 academic session initially commenced on July 12, 2026. The last date for candidates to register and submit their application forms was July 22, 2026, at 11:50 PM.

JNU Admission: What’s Next and Key Exclusions

Following the closure of the Expression of Willingness window on August 29, 2026, JNU will proceed with processing the entries based on merit and the availability of seats. The university has confirmed that this will be the conclusive admission round for the 2026-27 academic session for the specified UG and COP programmes.

This matters a lot for applicants to understand that B.Tech admissions at JNU operate through a separate channel. These admissions are filled via JEE Main counselling, managed by JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) or DASA (Direct Admission of Students Abroad), and are not part of the CUET-based UG registration process currently underway. This distinction ensures clarity for engineering aspirants seeking admission to JNU’s technology programmes.
