  Constraints from searches for squarks and gluinos at the LHC at sqrt{s}=8 TeV
are applied to the parameter space of the NMSSM with universal squark/slepton
and gaugino masses at the GUT scale, but allowing for non-universal soft Higgs
mass parameters (the sNMSSM). We confine ourselves to regions of the parameter
space compatible with a 125 GeV Higgs boson with diphoton signal rates at least
as large as the Standard Model ones, and a dark matter candidate compatible
with WMAP and XENON100 constraints. Following the simulation of numerous points
in the m_0-M_{1/2} plane, we compare the constraints on the sNMSSM from 3-5
jets + missing E_T channels as well as from multijet + missing E_T channels
with the corresponding cMSSM constraints. Due to the longer squark decay
cascades, lower bounds on M_{1/2} are alleviated by up to 50 GeV. For heavy
squarks at large m_0, the dominant constraints originate from multijet +
missing E_T channels due to gluino decays via stop pairs.
