Jadavpur University, one of India’s leading public universities, has announced a temporary suspension of its admission process for the academic year 2025, following a Calcutta High Court order staying the implementation of the revised OBC list in West Bengal.

The move affects both undergraduate and postgraduate admissions, which were underway through state-level entrance exams and merit-based shortlisting.

🔍 Why the Admissions Are on Hold

The Calcutta High Court recently issued an interim stay on the use of the newly notified OBC list, questioning the validity of the classification and its alignment with constitutional provisions. As a result, universities and state institutions have been directed to withhold admissions based on the revised OBC categories until further notice.

Since Jadavpur University follows state government norms for reservation, it has decided to pause all admission procedures to ensure compliance with the court’s directive.

📢 Official Statement by the University

A senior official from the Jadavpur University admissions committee stated:

“In light of the High Court’s order, we are putting the admission process on temporary hold. A revised notification will be issued once there is clarity on the reservation policy applicable this year.”

The university added that it is awaiting further instructions from the West Bengal government and legal counsel before resuming the admission process.

🧑‍🎓 Students in Limbo

Thousands of aspirants who applied for popular programs in Engineering, Arts, and Science at Jadavpur University are now uncertain about the next steps. The stay particularly affects OBC category candidates, who may see a change in their admission eligibility or ranking once a new list or policy is implemented.

🔁 What’s Next?

• The university is expected to release a revised admission schedule after receiving legal clearance

• Students are advised to regularly check the official website — jaduniv.edu.in — for updates

• The state government may consider an appeal or clarification on the OBC classification in court

⚠️ Advisory for Aspirants

• Do not panic — the halt is temporary and precautionary

• Keep all application details and documents ready for re-verification, if required

• Stay informed about any changes in reservation eligibility criteria or merit list updates

This development adds a layer of uncertainty to the West Bengal state university admission cycle. Other universities that follow the same reservation norms may also be affected if the legal issue remains unresolved.

Stay tuned for real-time updates on the Jadavpur University admission process and OBC reservation developments.
