Nomination forms will be issued on October 25 from 2 pm to 5 pm, while candidates can file nominations on October 27 between 9:30 am and 5 pm. The list of valid nominations will be displayed at 10 am on October 28, followed by the withdrawal of nominations between 2 pm and 5 pm the same day. The final list of candidates will be released by 7 pm, and a press briefing with space allotment for campaigning will be held at 8 pm.
The campaign period will include school general body meetings (GBMs) from October 29 to 31, and a university general body meeting (UGBM) on November 1.

Polling on November 4 will be conducted in two sessions — from 9 am to 1 pm and 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Counting of votes will begin at 9 pm, and the final results will be announced on November 6.
Earlier this month, JNU had constituted a grievance redressal cell to monitor the conduct of elections and address any disputes arising during the process.
In last year’s elections, Left-backed groups secured three of the four central panel posts, while the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) won the joint secretary’s post, marking its first victory in nearly a decade.
