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.
JNU PG Admission Based on CUET PG 2026 Scores
