NU Admission Result 2026 For Honours
Over 4,53,148 students are now waiting for the NU Admission Result 2026 after sitting the Honours Admission Test on April 25, 2026. The NU Honours merit list 2026 will be released in phases — starting with the 1st Merit List in the 1st week of May, followed by the 2nd Merit List, Quota Merit List and two Release Slips. Each phase has its own deadline, and missing any one of them means losing your seat permanently.
Right now, the most important update is the NU Admission Result 2nd merit list for the 2025-2026 session. According to the official NU notice, this list will be published on 21 May 2026 at 4:00 PM.
Students who were not selected in the 1st merit list do not need to apply again for this phase if they are still eligible in the process. The same official notice also confirms that the subject change result for students already admitted from the 1st merit list will be released with the 2nd merit list.
NU Admission Result 2nd Merit List
The NU Admission Result 2nd merit list is the second major selection phase in the Honours admission process. It fills seats left vacant after the first selection and confirmation period.
If your name appears in this list, you must complete the final admission form and submit it to the selected college within the announced deadline. Missing the deadline can cancel the chance of admission for this phase.
This phase is also important for students waiting for migration or subject change updates. NU has officially said that students who want subject change must select Yes in the final admission form if that option applies to them.

NU Honours Admission Result 2026
The admission result process does not end with one list. There are 5 separate stages — each giving more students a chance at securing a seat. Missing any stage’s deadline means losing that opportunity permanently.

2nd Merit List

Migration / Subject Change

Quota Result

Release Slip Result
Final admission result for remaining seats.
1st Merit List
The 1st Merit List is the first and most competitive selection round. Students with the highest merit scores in their applied subject at their applied college are selected first.
If you are selected, complete your Final Admission Form and pay your admission fee within the deadline NU announces at publication. No extensions are granted — ever.
2nd Merit List
The 2nd Merit List fills seats vacated after the 1st Merit List — left empty by students who did not confirm their admission in time. If you were not selected in the 1st Merit List, you automatically remain eligible — no separate action is needed. The 1st Migration Result is published alongside the 2nd Merit List, so check both your result status and migration status at the same time.
Quota Merit List
The Quota Merit List is a separate selection round reserved for freedom fighter quota and other officially recognised reserved categories. Have valid supporting documents ready before this round — NU does not accept late document submissions. The 2nd Migration Result is published alongside the Quota Merit List.
1st Release Slip
The 1st Release Slip is for students not selected in any merit list or quota list. Seats available here are those remaining after all merit list confirmation windows close. You must apply separately within NU’s announced window — it is not automatic. College and subject options are limited to whatever vacant seats remain at that point.
2nd Release Slip
The 2nd Release Slip is the final opportunity in the entire NU Honours Admission 2025–26 process. Only seats left vacant after the 1st Release Slip confirmation window are offered here. Once this window closes, no further admission opportunity exists for this session.
