JNU UG and COP course registrations are now open for 2025. Apply online at jnuee.jnu.ac.in by July 15. Admissions based on CUET 2025 scores.
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), widely recognized as one of India’s premier institutions for higher education, has officially opened the admissions window for its Undergraduate (UG) and Certificate of Proficiency (COP) programmes for the academic year 2025–26. Aspirants looking to study at JNU can now register for these highly sought-after programmes through the university’s official admission portal — jnuee.jnu.ac.in.
The registration period will remain open until July 15, 2025, offering students ample time to gather the necessary documents and complete the application process. However, candidates are advised not to wait until the last minute due to the expected high volume of applicants and the competitive nature of JNU admissions.
In a student-friendly move, JNU has also announced a two-day correction window from July 16 to July 17, 2025. During this period, applicants who have already submitted their forms will be able to log back into the portal and make corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information. This is a critical opportunity for candidates to ensure their applications are error-free, as mistakes in personal or academic details can result in delays or even disqualification.

Admissions Based on CUET 2025 Scores
For the 2025–26 session, admission to all UG and COP programmes at JNU will be strictly based on Common University Entrance Test (CUET) 2025 scores. This entrance test, conducted at the national level, evaluates students on various academic subjects and plays a central role in ensuring transparency and merit-based selection.
Students who have appeared for CUET 2025 and meet the university’s eligibility criteria will be shortlisted based on their scores. The first merit list is tentatively scheduled to be released in the third week of July 2025, soon after which the counselling, admission confirmation, and document verification processes will begin.
Popular Courses: BA Honours and COP Programmes
JNU’s Undergraduate offerings are particularly renowned for their academic rigour and global relevance. One of the most popular courses under the UG programme is the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Foreign Languages, which is offered in several languages including French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Persian, Arabic, and more. These programmes are housed under the School of Language, Literature, and Culture Studies, which has a rich legacy of nurturing language experts, translators, cultural scholars, and international diplomats.
The Certificate of Proficiency (COP) courses are short-term programmes designed to help students build fundamental language skills and cultural awareness. These are ideal for students who are pursuing degrees in other fields or professionals who wish to gain an edge in international communication and global job markets. Many candidates opt for COP courses to enhance their qualifications for careers in international business, foreign services, translation, or academia.
