JNU UG and COP Registration 2026 – Quick Overview

Important Dates

The official JNU admissions portal lists the following as the current deadline for UG and COP registration. The exact date on which registration opened is not stated on the pages reviewed; the portal shows the forms as “Live” with a common closing date.

Merit list and further admission schedule dates were not available in the sources reviewed. Candidates should keep checking jnuee.jnu.ac.in for updates, as JNU has extended UG/COP registration deadlines in past admission cycles.

Programmes Offered

JNU’s UG-level admissions are limited in scope compared to its postgraduate offerings – most JNU disciplines such as Political Science, Economics, History, and International Studies admit students only at the Master’s level. At the UG stage, JNU offers only the following through CUET (UG) 2026:

• B.A. (Hons.) in Foreign Languages – a four-year programme (as per NEP 2020) offered in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Pashto, Russian, and Spanish, through the School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies (SLL&CS).
• B.Sc. in Ayurveda Biology – a four-year programme offered by the School of Sanskrit and Indic Studies (SSIS).
• Certificate of Proficiency (COP) programmes – one-year, part-time courses in Pashto, Uzbek, Hebrew, Mongolian, Bahasa Indonesia, Urdu, Pali, Sanskrit, Sanskrit Computational Linguistics, Yoga Philosophy, Vedic Culture, Natya Shastra, Health Awareness and Wellness, and Indian Philosophy.

Exact seat intake for each centre/language is published in the JNU e-Prospectus 2026-27 (Section XXI, “Intake for the Year 2026-27”) on jnuee.jnu.ac.in; the specific seat numbers were not part of the excerpt reviewed for this article.

• Senior School Certificate (10+2) or an equivalent examination from a recognised Board/University with a minimum of 45% marks in aggregate.

• For B.A. (Hons.) in Arabic, candidates holding a Certificate of Alimiah/equivalent madrasa qualification with at least 45% marks from specified institutions are also eligible, subject to conditions listed in the official e-Prospectus.
• 80% of seats in the B.A. (Hons.) programme are reserved for candidates who passed their qualifying (10+2) exam in 2025 or are appearing in 2026; the remaining 20% are open to all other candidates.

CUET (UG) 2026 Subject Requirements

Reservation Policy

As per the Government of India’s reservation policy, applicable to all UG and COP programmes at JNU:

JNU also awards “deprivation points” (up to a maximum of 12) to eligible candidates from specified Quartile 1 and Quartile 2 districts, Kashmiri migrants, and female/transgender candidates, as detailed in the official e-Prospectus. This benefit applies to UG, PG, COP, and ADOP programmes, but not to B.Tech, M.Sc. (Biotechnology), M.Sc. (Computational and Integrative Sciences), MBA, DOP, or Ph.D. admissions.

Selection Process

• Admission to B.A. (Hons.), B.Sc., and COP programmes is based entirely on a candidate’s performance in CUET (UG) 2026, a Computer Based Test (CBT) conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
• No viva voce (interview) is held for admission to these programmes.
• Final merit is calculated using the CUET (UG) 2026 score combined with any applicable deprivation points.
• In case of a tie in Under Graduate/COP programme merit, preference is given first to higher marks in the qualifying (10+2) examination, and then to higher marks in Class 10 if the tie persists. A candidate whose qualifying result has been declared is given preference over one whose result is still pending.
• Candidates must apply separately on the JNU admission portal after CUET (UG) 2026 results are declared by NTA; a CUET score alone does not guarantee a JNU seat.

Required Documents

Based on the official e-Prospectus, candidates should keep the following ready for online upload and later physical verification:

• Class 10 marksheet and certificate (proof of date of birth)
• Class 12 (10+2) marksheet and passing certificate, or provisional certificate if the result is awaited
• CUET (UG) 2026 scorecard/result
• Category certificate, where applicable: SC/ST caste certificate, OBC Non-Creamy Layer certificate (issued in the current financial year), EWS income and assets certificate, or PWD disability certificate in the prescribed format
• Recent passport-size photograph and scanned signature
• Anti-ragging affidavit
• Migration certificate (required at the time of admission)
• Documents for supernumerary-seat claims, if applicable (e.g., Defence personnel wards’ certificate, J&K/Ladakh domicile proof, PM CARES for Children certificate)
