Justice V K Jain also asked the university to allow Pulkit Chaudhary, Amandeep Kadian and Sharad Shekhar Tomar, who were asked to discontinue their studies on the allegations, to sit for their exams missed during the pendency of the trial.
"The applicants (Pulkit Chaudhary, Amandeep Kadian and Sharad Shekhar Tomar) should be allowed to seat for their exams. The college should also re-admit them as they have been acquitted in the case lodged against them," the court said.
The students had approached the high court after the trial court in August had acquitted them of charges of wrongful confinement, abduction, gangrape and cheating by personation and common intention under the IPC.
They have also been acquitted of charges under various sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) Act.

The police had last year arrested five law students after a complaint was lodged at the Defence Colony Police Station here on September 15 by the girl's parents. However, the court had acquitted all of them.
The five law students were charged with gangraping the girl, who was allegedly held in captivity at the South Delhi residence of one of the co-accused.
The court, however, acquitted the accused relying on the testimony of the prosecution witnesses in the case who failed to identify the five as the culprits.
Initially, a case of kidnapping was registered by police but when the girl was recovered on November 27 last year, she deposed that she had a quarrel with her parents, so she had accompanied her friend Amit to his flat.
