Who is affected?
The UG/COP extension applies to eligible candidates seeking undergraduate or Certificate of Proficiency admission at Jawaharlal Nehru University, including candidates who have not yet submitted the 2026 application and existing applicants who need to correct an allowed field.
The PG final call applies only to candidates who appeared in CUET PG 2026 and had already applied for JNU postgraduate admission. Offers will depend on merit, the preferences already submitted and the availability of seats.

- Submit before 11:50 PM on July 24 and save the final acknowledgement.
For PG applicants seeking a vacant seat

Documents PG candidates should check now
JNU says the final admission process will end on August 10 and will not be extended for candidates waiting for a qualifying-result document, discontinuation certificate, employer relieving letter or category certificate. OBC-NCL and EWS certificates must have been issued on or after April 1, 2026. PwD and other applicable certificates should also be ready in the prescribed form.
What happens if the deadline is missed?
JNU states that the UG/COP portal will close after the extended deadline and corrections will ordinarily not be accepted later. A PG applicant who does not submit willingness within the final-call window will not be considered through this vacancy exercise. A willingness submission does not guarantee admission; selection remains subject to merit and seat availability.
