Judge Prateek Jalan dismissed the plea of a student, who challenged a December 7, 2021 communication, in which she was declared ineligible for said course by JNU.
The petitioner had applied for admission to the JNU doctoral course.
The petitioner had applied for admission to the JNU doctoral course in the National Eligibility Test (NET) – Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) category.
Lawyer Kumar Piyush Pushkar, attorney for the petitioner, argued that during the 2021-2022 academic session, JNU did not offer any places for a PhD in Hindi other than in the NET-JRF category.
The petitioner’s claim was that even though she had not passed the NET-JRF exam, organized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), she was entitled to be considered in this category because the NET-JRF has not been organized in the last three cycles.
Attorney Monika Arora, a lawyer representing JNU, argued that admission to doctoral programs at JNU is offered either through the NET-JRF category or through the JNU Entrance Examination (JNUEE ).

The Court further stated that “the categories and qualifications into which an academic institution seeks to attract students for various courses is a matter for the institution to decide, and the interference of the criminal court in such matters. questions is only on a conclusion of manifest arbitrariness or perversity. No such case is established in this petition.
“For the aforementioned reasons, the motion in brief, being devoid of substance, is dismissed, as well as the pending application”, added the Court.
