LIVE UPDATES | JEE Main 2023: Mains, Advanced eligibility criteria relaxed- Details here

JEE Main 2023: Plea filed in Bombay HC demands postponement of exam, relaxation of 75% eligibility criteria citing less time to prepare, ineligibility to appear.. Bombay HC will hear the plea tomorrow, Jan 10, scroll down for latest updates.

JEE Main 2023: The Bombay High Court will hear the plea seeking postponement of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2023 and withdrawal of 75 percent eligibility criteria tomorrow, Jan 10. The court has given time to the petitioner to file the JEE Main 2023 brochure. This petition was filed by activist Anubha Srivastava Sahai against the National Testing Agency (NTA). The petitioner claimed that the class 12 students will have their practical exams, vivas, etc in January, which will coincide with the JEE Main 2023 January session. Even the HSC, CBSE, ICSE (class 12) exams are scheduled to begin on February 1, which will make the exam calendar chaotic for class 12 students.

A bench of acting chief justice SV Gangpurwala and J Sandeep V Marne will be hearing the petition. “The only difficulty is that the last date for registration is approaching. My lords may keep it on Monday, I will file tomorrow,” said the petitioner during the hearing. However, the court denied and said, “You should have filed with the petition. Matter on January 10.”

NTA removed the JEE Main 75% criteria last year as a one-time measure due to academic loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. The petition argued that the pre-board exams, viva voce of CBSE, ICSE and other state boards are scheduled in January. The clash between JEE Main 2023 and pre-board exams will result in less number of students appearing for JEE Main January 2023 session.
