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

Dear Vani,

  • A stunning campus. The flora at JNU actually changes with the seasons. It's a great spot to be, especially in the spring. It makes you grateful to be alive.
  • There will be no ragging. As far as I am aware, every senior and professor is helpful. There is no tolerance for ragging.
  • You may listen to the knowledgeable and renowned for free: I got the opportunity to hear DALAI LAMA speak, and he is all he is known for and more.
  • There are no safety concerns. Everyone admires your uniqueness.
  • The political situation. Whether you like it or not, you will become more politically conscious, read more in order to comprehend, and so dispute.
  • A library that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All items are well-stocked and easily accessible.
  • JNU fees :  In a year, I pay around 600 Rupees in tuition costs.
  • There's no need to keep up appearances. You want to come to class in your PJs? Go ahead. You can do it without being frowned upon.
  • The instructors who are down to earth. You can dispute with them on a wide range of issues, and discuss if necessary. You can approach them with any issue.
