The university has refuted these claims, stating that the students were asked to leave because they did not meet the minimum academic marks required for hostel accommodation. However, students contend that others with lower marks have not faced similar eviction proceedings.

One student, Habeeba, a third-year student and member of the Disha Students’ Organisation, has taken her case to the Delhi High Court. She is challenging her eviction notice and seeking reinstatement of her hostel accommodation, asserting that her studies and safety depend on it as she lives far from her family.

Habeeba claims she was forcibly removed from her room on September 25, with her belongings packed and her room sealed. The university spokesperson maintained that the evictions are a routine annual process based on established hostel rules and a merit-based system, citing the scarcity of hostel rooms.

The evictions also led to a protest on September 28, resulting in one student's temporary suspension from classes and a show-cause notice for protesting outside the designated area. No further protests have occurred since then.
