Be prepared for questions like 'Why this topic?' Or 'How do you plan to research the chosen topic?' You must also be updated with the recent trends and developments in your research topic and conduct mock interviews with friends or colleagues.
• Stay confident: Being confident during your JNU PhD interview has a great impact on your selection. Be confident throughout the interview session and make sure that you show your commitment to pursue the course.?
• Communicate effectively: When answering your interviewers' questions, ensure that you're clear with what you want to say. Do not hesitate or mix up things, but be clear and maintain good body language.

JNU admissions are quite competitive due to its high reputation in India and across the world. Students from Delhi and outside of Delhi compete for admission to various JNU courses. The university accepts CUET for admission to its undergraduate and postgraduate programs. When the CUET results are declared, JNU releases its cutoff scores and merit list accordingly. 

Candidates who have a CUET score that is at least equal to the cutoff scores will be called for the counseling session and will be allotted seats in their preferred institutions. Since a large number of applicants apply for JNU admissions, candidates must aim for a high percentile and a high CUET score. Good marks can ensure admission to JNU if not any other parameter.
