The maryland supreme court has ruled that the 2022 hearing, which freed adnan syed from prison, violated the rights of the victim's family and mandated a rehearing. syed, who has maintained his innocence in the 1999 murder of hae min lee, was previously released after evidence flaws were found, but his conviction was reinstated in 2023..

• United States

The Maryland Supreme Court has ordered a redo of the 2022 court hearing that freed Adnan Syed, ruling that the victim's family's legal rights were violated.

This decision is the latest development in the high-profile case magnified by the "Serial" podcast. Syed was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee in 2000 but was released in 2022 after evidence flaws were identified.

Maryland's Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision to reinstate Syed's conviction, citing inadequate notice given to the victim's family, who were not able to attend the hearing in person. Syed remains free as appeals continue through the state's court system.

• Category 3: If you only qualify for the Ph.D., you are eligible for Ph.D. admission

2) JRF Category Admission:

• Admissions under the JRF category will follow UGC guidelines from the notification dated November 7, 2022.

3) Weightage for Ph.D. Admission:

4) Validity of NET Scores:

• The NET scores for Categories 2 and 3 will be valid for one year for Ph.D. admissions.

What are the admission criteria for a PhD admission to a PhD program? 

Check the points below to know the admission criteria for admission to Delhi University (DU) for a PhD. 

• Entrance Test: You need to score at least 50% in the Entrance Test to qualify.
• No Guarantee: Qualifying the Entrance Test doesn’t guarantee a fellowship or admission to the Ph.D. course.
• Choose a Sub-discipline: You must select a sub-discipline offered by the department when applying online.
• Final Selection: The final selection is based on an interview. The interview will assess your research competency, the feasibility of your proposed work, its relevance to new knowledge, and the availability of seats and a supervisor. University rules also apply.
• Eligibility and Verification: If you’re selected, your admission will depend on meeting all eligibility criteria and having your documents verified after the interview.
• Fellowship Availability: The Department/University may change the number of fellowships or decide not to award any in a given year.

Entrance exams accepted by the Delhi University for a PhD program

The PhD Entrance Test will be held once a year, and the eligibility for interviews will be valid until the next test. M.Phil. interviews will also be held once a year. PhD interviews may happen twice a year or more, depending on seat availability.

If there’s a second round of interviews, candidates need to re-register on the online portal within the given timeframe. Entrance Tests in different departments will be scheduled to let candidates take tests in more than one subject if they wish.

The Entrance Test will be a qualifying exam with a pass mark of 50%. There’s a 5% relaxation in the qualifying marks for SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) and differently-abled candidates, making the pass mark 45%.

If there aren’t enough candidates from these categories, the Departmental Research Committees (DRCs) will find other ways to fill the seats, considering candidates from National Level Tests and other categories.

There are various entrance exams accepted by the Delhi University. Some of them are mentioned below :

• UGC-NET: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has assigned the National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct the UGC-NET exam. This test determines the eligibility of Indian nationals for the roles of ‘Assistant Professor’ and ‘Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Assistant Professor’ in Indian universities and colleges. Since December 2018, the UGC-NET has been conducted by the NTA in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format.The awarding of the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and/or eligibility for Assistant Professorship depends on the candidate's combined performance in Paper-I and Paper-II of the UGC-NET. Candidates who qualify only for the Assistant Professorship are not eligible for the JRF. Those who qualify for the Assistant Professorship must follow the rules and regulations of the respective universities, colleges, or state governments for recruitment.The UGC-NET is conducted twice a year, in June and December, to maintain a regular examination cycle.
• JRF:  The Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) Exam 2024 is a national-level entrance test in India. It provides fellowships to students who wish to pursue research in their chosen fields. The JRF Exam 2024 is conducted by six different organizations, each handling various subjects and study areas. Below is a table that gives an overview of the different JRF Exams held in India for 2024.

• SLET: The State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) is held to appoint lecturers in state universities and colleges. Although the exam is managed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on behalf of the University Grants Commission (UGC), it mainly ensures candidates meet the minimum standards for teaching or research roles. Due to its importance, many states have adopted a similar test to SLET. The UGC conducts this exam to find qualified candidates for Assistant Professor roles in fields like Humanities and Social Sciences. The SLET, also known as SET, is offered in English across various states in India. However, the commission realized that a national exam like SLET might not fully cover regional subjects. There were also requests from candidates to take the exam in their native languages. In response, state governments and union territories were given the power to hold their own SLET exams. This led to the SLET or SET being offered at the state level, now available in both English and regional languages.Simply put, while the NET is for those aiming to become lecturers across India, SLET candidates will work within a specific state. The final selection for SLET is based on the marks obtained in the State Eligibility Test.
• CUET (PhD): The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the online Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for PhD admissions at top Indian universities like Delhi University (DU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU).This entrance exam ensures a fair and efficient way to evaluate students, giving everyone an equal chance, no matter their background. By taking the NTA PhD entrance exam for central universities, you can access prestigious institutions, explore a wide range of disciplines, and enjoy a simplified application process. The selection is based on merit, with opportunities for funding, networking, impactful research, and gaining national or international recognition. It's also a chance for personal growth and contributing to knowledge, paving the way for academic and career success.

Exemption from a PhD entrance Exam? 

If you’ve passed exams like UGC-NET (including JRF), UGC-CSIR NET (including JRF), DBT-JRF, ICMR-JRF, DST-INSPIRE, AYUSH-NET, or equivalent national exams, you can go straight to the interview.Faculties already working at the University of Delhi can directly attend the interview.

If you hold a Junior Research Fellowship or a similar research position and meet the eligibility criteria, you can also go straight to the interview, as long as a selection committee approves it.

Scientists and professionals from government R&D institutes with an MoU with the university can attend the interview directly if they meet the eligibility criteria.For Ph.D. admission in the Faculty of Management Studies, candidates with a good CAT score might be shortlisted to go directly to the interview.

If you’re pursuing or have completed an M.Phil. with:

• At least 55% marks or equivalent grade, you can go directly to the interview. SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) and differently-abled candidates get a 5% mark relaxation.
• At least 55% marks in M.Phil. coursework from the University of Delhi, you can attend the Ph.D. interview even if you haven’t completed the M.Phil. dissertation.
• M.Phil. dissertation evaluated and only the viva voce is pending, you can also attend the Ph.D. interview.
• An equivalent M.Phil. degree from an Indian or foreign institution with 55% marks or an equivalent grade, you’re eligible for the Ph.D. program.

Even if you’re exempt from the entrance exam, you must register on the online admission portal to qualify for the interview.
