A total of 22 students from 12 states have filed a case against the Joint Admission Board (JAB) for changing the number of attempts for Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), Advanced from two to three, and then back to two in less than a month.

“The Petitioners are aggrieved by the abrupt and arbitrary policy reversal regarding the eligibility criteria for JEE-Advanced 2025 by the JAB, which initially increased the permissible attempts for JEE Advanced from two to three on 05.11.2024, only to rescind this decision on 18.11.2024, causing severe hardship and prejudice to the Petitioners and similarly situated students nationwide,” the writ petition states.

Petitioners have claimed that they had cleared their class 12 exams in 2023 and were already enrolled in engineering colleges, but they started preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 as and when the number of available attempts increased from two to three. This preparation included submitting JEE Main 2025 application form fee, coaching classes’ fee, and spending money on test series, study materials/ books and other preparatory courses.

Some petitioners also state that they left their educational institutions and relocated to their hometowns or coaching hubs like Kata to prepare for JEE Advanced. A few petitioners also claim to have left dropped out of their engineering colleges.

These petitioners claim that another change in the number of allowed attempts — back to two — created problems for ‘thousands of students across the country’.

“The abrupt and unexplained reversal of JAB’s policy within 13 days demonstrates a lack of due process or rational basis, thereby amounting to arbitrariness,” the petitioners stated in the writ petition.
