JNU PhD admissions 2025: The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) will soon close its online registration process for PhD admissions for the academic year 2024-25. As per the earlier announced schedule, the application window, which began on November 23, will conclude on December 2, 2024. Prospective candidates can complete their registrations through the official website, jnu.ac.in.
JNU PhD admissions 2025 schedule
PhD admissions at JNU will be based on scores from NET (UGC-CSIR), JRF, or GATE, depending on the specific programme. Applicants must submit separate applications based on their eligibility under these categories. Notably, candidates applying through JRF must register specifically under the JRF category, while those with GATE scores are eligible to apply only for PhD programmes offered by the School of Engineering.
This year, JNU has aligned its PhD admission process with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by accepting NET scores instead of conducting its in-house PhD entrance exam, the JNU Entrance Exam (JNUEE). The decision to reinstate the university’s entrance exam faced delays due to a lack of feedback from school deans, further reinforcing the reliance on national-level exams for the 2024 admission cycle.
