Whenever there is mention of educational institutions of the country, the name of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) definitely comes in it. Thousands of students apply every year, but many find it difficult to understand how the reservation system actually works. Separate provisions have been made for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS and PWD students in course admission, which are in accordance with the rules of the Central Government.
In JNU, SC category students get 15% reservation and ST students get 7.5% reservation. For this, a caste certificate issued by a recognized authority is necessary, which should include the student’s name, caste, state and confirmation that this caste is registered in the list of the Central Government. If a student does not have the certificate at the time of application, he can submit the receipt of application. But it is necessary to submit the original certificate before final admission. If an SC/ST student is selected from general merit, he/she is not included in the reserved seats.
Reservation for OBC
OBC students get 27% reservation. The OBC-NCL certificate should be as per the Central Government list and it should also be clear that the student falls in the non-creamy layer. For this, a valid certificate for the financial year 2025–26 is necessary. If new certificate is not available then old or application receipt can be submitted, but valid certificate will have to be presented at the time of admission.
