💡 Expert Tip
JNU has negative marking of 0.25 marks per wrong answer in both Paper-I and Paper-II — do not guess randomly. The minimum qualifying mark is 40% for General/EWS and 35% for OBC/SC/ST/PwD in each paper. For Group A posts, interview carries 30% weightage and written test carries 70% — so a strong Paper-II score is critical for shortlisting. OBC candidates must submit NCL certificate issued on or after 01/04/2026 — older OBC certificates will be rejected. Candidates applying for multiple posts must pay the fee separately for each post. Government employees must submit a valid NOC from their employer at the time of document verification — missing NOC leads to cancellation of candidature.

Q.8 Can OBC candidates use an older OBC certificate for JNU 2026 recruitment? ▼
Ans: No — OBC (NCL) certificates issued before 01/04/2026 are NOT valid for this recruitment. Since vacancies are advertised in financial year 2026-27, only NCL-OBC certificates issued on or after 01/04/2026 will be accepted. Candidates with older certificates will be treated as UR (Unreserved) candidates. The certificate must also confirm non-creamy layer status and must be digitally verifiable.
