The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is gearing up to hold the entrance examinations for the academic year, 2018-19 to its various undergraduate, graduate, M. Phil and PhD programmes. Unlike in previous years, the JNU Entrance Examinations, 2018-19 will be conducted during 27-30 December 2017. JNU has 10 schools that contain 41 diverse centres of studies and 5 special centres of studies.

The JNU Entrance Examination was advertised on September 9, 2017; prospectus was uploaded on the JNU web site on September 15, 2017 and the final date of application was October 17, 2017.
Significantly, more than 105, 000 candidates will sit for the examination in 131 fields of study.
The number of candidates has substantially increased compared to last year when the total number of candidates was 73, 725-this is an increase of about 170 per cent.
"Moreover, the number of intake for M. Phil/PhD seats this year is 720 and that is more than 80 per cent increase - compared to last year in spite of the fact that JNU has adopted the 2016 UGC Gazette Notification, 2016 on M. Phil/PhD admissions," said Prof. Chintamani Mahapatra in the statement.

Thus, Prof. Mahapatra also claimed that the number of M. Phil/PhD research seats will further increase in coming years as new faculty join the university.
