The CUET JNU Cut Off 2026 has been released for undergraduate admissions through JNU's official admission portal. JNU has published programme-wise cutoff scores and ranks for its CUET UG-based UG and Certificate of Proficiency admissions.
The cutoff can vary by programme, category and admission list, so candidates should check the official cutoff applicable to their programme and category rather than rely on a single JNU cutoff score. JNU's 2026–27 prospectus confirms that admissions to B.A. (Hons.) Foreign Languages, B.Sc. Ayurveda Biology and Certificate of Proficiency programmes are through CUET UG 2026.
JNU's official admissions portal has published the 2026 cutoff score and rank section for undergraduate admissions. The official page includes separate cutoff links for BA, BSc and COP programmes under List 1 and, where available, subsequent admission lists.
The official cutoff is released in terms of cutoff marks and cutoff rank, with category-wise details available in the relevant programme lists. Candidates should therefore check the official JNU list for their course and category before assessing their admission chances.
JNU's official portal currently lists BA, BSc and COP cutoff links under the 2026 admissions section.
JNU publishes cutoff information separately for different categories. The official cutoff documents include categories such as UR, SC, ST, PwD, OBC and EWS, along with cutoff rank and cutoff marks where applicable.
Therefore, the CUET JNU cutoff for a candidate can differ according to the applicable category. Candidates should use the category-specific cutoff in the official JNU list when checking their admission chances.
JNU's admission policy and programme-specific eligibility requirements should also be checked before completing the admission process.
Several factors determine how competitive the JNU cutoff becomes.
The overall performance of candidates in CUET UG affects the merit position and consequently the cutoff required for admission.
A higher number of applicants competing for limited seats can increase competition for a particular programme.
The number of seats available in a programme also affects admission chances. Programmes with limited seats can have more competitive cutoffs.
JNU publishes category-wise cutoff information, meaning the applicable category can affect the cutoff marks and rank required for admission.
The cutoff can change between admission lists. JNU's official 2026 portal currently provides separate cutoff sections for List 1 and List 2 for BA and other UG programmes.
Previous-year official cutoff data can help candidates understand how JNU admission scores have changed across programmes and admission rounds.
For 2025-26, the official first-list BA cutoff included the following UR marks:
|

2025-26 List 1 UR Cutoff |

These figures are from JNU's official 2025-26 first-list cutoff document and are useful as a previous-year reference, not as the 2026 cutoff.
The second-list cutoff also changed for several programmes. For example, the UR cutoff for Arabic was 60.2706, Chinese 66.3045, French 71.9288, German 71.5471, Japanese 72.8521, Korean 67.5966 and Spanish 69.2558.
