Jamia has put on hold new admission policy due to the case pending in the court. NCMEI verdict was challenged in high court by some group of Jamia. Now Jamia can start admission process. HC had earlier too refused to stay the NCMEI verdict.

In case seats remain vacant under those categories reserved for women and OBC and ST Muslims, these will automatically get transferred into the category of general Muslim applicants.
