Recently, the High Court of Delhi stayed the two notifications issued by JNU. The eligibility criteria mentioned in these two notifications are arbitrary. These notifications made M.Phil as the mandatory criterion for seeking admission to the Ph.D. course. According to the observation made the court, the varsity violated the admission norms. However, no final decision has been delivered by the court in this regard, and the matter was posted for the next hearing on February 26, 2018.
Recently, JNU has achieved another milestone by receiving A++ grade from National Assessment and Accreditation Council. JNU also showed top performance in NIRF Rankings 2017.
