Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has officially declared the JNU PG Result 2026 for admission to its two-year postgraduate programmes for the 2026-27 academic session. Candidates who applied for MA, MSc, and MCA programmes through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET PG) 2026 can now check the first merit list, cut-off scores, and admission status on the university's official admission portal.

Along with the result, JNU has also released the revised admission schedule for postgraduate (PG) and Advanced Diploma of Proficiency (ADOP) programmes. Candidates shortlisted in the first merit list must complete the admission formalities within the prescribed timeline to secure their seats.
Admissions to JNU's postgraduate programmes are being conducted entirely on the basis of CUET PG 2026 scores. The National Testing Agency (NTA) declared the CUET PG results on April 24, 2026, after which JNU prepared its merit list by considering candidates' entrance examination scores.
In addition to CUET PG performance, the university also awards deprivation points to eligible candidates as per its admission policy. These points are factored into the preparation of the final merit list to ensure equitable access to higher education.
The first merit list for JNU PG admissions was released on June 25, 2026. Candidates whose names appear in the merit list are eligible to proceed with the next stage of the admission process.
Applicants should carefully check their programme, category-wise cut-off marks, and admission status before completing the required formalities.
Candidates selected in the first merit list must complete the pre-enrolment registration and pay the admission fee by June 27, 2026.
