JNU Questions and Answers

JNU is famous for its low-cost education, and yes, that’s really true for most programs. For UG courses like BA (Hons.) or BSc, the total academic fees are just ₹881 to ₹5.51 lakhs for the entire course. And many popular ones like MA or PhD are affordable, too, like MA costs around ₹577 for the full two years, and PhD is about ₹986 overall. Only a few programs of JNU like the MBA or BTech have relatively higher fees. For example, MBA is ₹12 lakhs for the full course (₹8 L for OBC-NCL, ₹6 L for SC/ST/PwD). So while most programs are quite affordable, a handful are pricier.

Hello Manish

Congratulations on securing such good marks but you must note that anyone can take admission in JNU only on the basis of CUET result. Hence there is no other alternative to take admission to the campus. The CUET 2023 result is likely to be out in the first week of July hence you can take admission on the basis of that result. The last date to fill JNU application form 2023 is July 15, 2023.
