Jagannath University (JNU) will begin its first-year undergraduate (honours) admission tests for the 2026-27 academic session on January 1. According to university authorities, the online application process will commence on November 25. In a notable policy change, candidates who did not pass in two subjects will also be given the opportunity to apply this year.

Admission Test Schedule

University sources confirmed that the admission tests will begin on January 1 and will be conducted in multiple phases. The online application window will open on November 25 and remain active until the designated deadline.

Opportunity for Candidates Failing Two Subjects

A significant change has been introduced in this year's admission process. Previously, only candidates who had passed specific subjects were eligible to apply. However, this year, candidates who failed in two subjects will also be permitted to submit applications. This decision is expected to benefit a large number of students.

Admission Activities at Other Universities

Meanwhile, admission processes are also underway at other public universities across the country. The University of Rajshahi (RU) has scheduled its admission tests for the 2026-27 session to begin on February 12. With various universities announcing their schedules, prospective students can now plan their applications accordingly.

Application Process

The entire application process for JNU will be conducted online. Interested candidates must apply through the university's designated website. Detailed information regarding application fees, eligibility criteria, and other requirements will be published in the university's official admission notice.

University authorities expressed optimism that the admission tests will be completed on schedule, allowing the new academic year to commence without delay. All admission-related information will be disseminated through the university's official website and public notices for the convenience of applicants.
