New Delhi: The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is all set to adopt the online mode for conducting entrance examinations for all its academic programmes from 2019-20 session onwards. The decision took place in the 148 Academic council of JNU in its meeting on Friday. "To make the entrance examinations accessible to the applicants even from remote areas, the number of examination centres will be doubled as compared to previous years. Mock test centres will also be introduced so that the prospective applicants can practice and become familiar with the computer-based entrance examinations well before the scheduled dates of the examinations," said in JNU statement. "The Council members were also apprised that JNU is going to offer nearly 1,080 M. Phil and PhD seats in 2019-20 admissions," official said.

The Vice Chancellor informed the Council members that a vast majority of faculty members from various Schools, Special Centres

and Centres have enthusiastically extended their cooperation by submitting Multiple

Choice-based Question Papers to the Admissions Office in time and the Council highly

appreciated their efforts
