The candidate had applied for admission to the PhD course in JNU in the National Eligibility Test (NET) - Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) category.
Advocate Kumar Piyush Pushkar, counsel for the petitioner, submitted that in the academic session 2021-22, JNU did not offer any seats for PhD in Hindi other than through the NET-JRF category.
Although she had not taken the University Grants Commission (UGC) NET-JRF exam, the petitioner's contention was that she was entitled to be considered in the said category as the NET-JRF has not been conducted in the last three cycles, the report said.
The high court observed that the candidate is not NET- JRF qualified, he/she is entitled to appear in the JNUEE, and seek admission to PhD courses. On the other hand, a NET-JRF qualified candidate is not required to appear in the JNUEE but must submit himself/herself to an interview.

The candidate, who filed the petition, was interviewed but was held to be ineligible as she has admittedly not taken the NET-JRF examination.

On December 16, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the JNUEE final answer key 2021 for UG and PG programmes at nta.ac.in.
