Published: Sunday, September 6, 2026, 16:24 [IST]

Jawaharlal Nehru University released its third merit list today, September 6. BA (Hons), BSc and Certificate of Proficiency applicants are covered in List‑3. Log in and block your seat within the portal deadline set for today. Official List‑3 links are now live on JNU’s admissions website.

Go to the JNU admissions portal and open the relevant List‑3 link. Sign in using your application number and password for BA and COP. For BSc, the portal prompts for application number and date of birth. After viewing rank and programme, use the on‑screen option to accept and block.

How to check JNU UG/COP 3rd merit list and block your seat

Seat blocking is completed only after paying the pre‑enrolment fee on the portal. As per the e‑prospectus, the acceptance fee is Rs 313 for UG, Rs 264 for COP. Keep transaction proof and the generated pre‑enrolment form for document verification. If payment fails, retry through the portal link rather than third‑party gateways.

Documents to keep ready for JNU verification and pre‑enrolment

Prepare scanned copies for upload and originals for verification. Carry CUET scorecards, pre‑enrolment printouts, passport photographs, and Class 10 and 12 certificates. Migration, character certificate, anti‑ragging undertaking, and category documents are required where applicable. Originals must be produced in person at registration, otherwise admission is not permitted.

Category‑wise rules that often trigger rejections at JNU

OBC Non‑Creamy Layer certificates must be issued for financial year 2025‑26. Older certificates are not valid. EWS requires an income and asset certificate signed by a Tehsildar or above. SC or ST status must match the Central List; PwD certificates must follow notified formats.

Didn’t get a seat in JNU 3rd merit list? Practical next steps

Keep monitoring the portal for vacant‑seat calls or reopened blocking windows. JNU has previously issued last‑and‑final calls for UG and COP seats, so watch notices closely. Also track rescheduled physical verification updates and reporting tokens on the site and candidate portal. Avoid WhatsApp forwards; rely on official updates.

Official JNU helplines and safe websites for admissions

Use only jnuee.jnu.ac.in and jnu.ac.in for admissions and notices. For support, write to [email protected] or the Directorate of Admissions emails. You can also call +91‑11‑26704017 or 26742601 during office hours. Do not share credentials or pay through unknown links.
