The Delhi High Court has put JNU’s 2026-27 admissions based on deprivation points on hold, questioning whether the university can effectively add marks to CUET scores after the entrance examination. Under JNU’s policy, eligible candidates can receive up to 12 deprivation points, equivalent to 36 marks. JNU defended the system as a measure to ensure representation from across India, while a petitioner challenged its legality. The court will hear the matter again on August 24, 2026.
