Seeking setting aside of the November 18, 2024 press release, it said the change disentitled and disqualified many students from taking the JEE-Advanced 2025 exam. (File Photo) The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to examine a plea against bringing down from three to two, the attempts given to Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)-Advanced aspirants.
When the plea came up before a bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih, the petitioner’s counsel said, “This matter pertains to the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) admission entrance examination in which the number of attempts have been reduced from three to two.”
The lawyer said a similar plea was listed before the bench on January 10 following which the court directed both to be tagged.
The fresh plea, filed through advocate Sanjeet Kumar Trivedi, said it related to the process for admissions into the prestigious IITs but the joint admission board (JAB), entrusted to conduct the JEE-Advanced exam, changed the eligibility criteria for students in an “arbitrary” manner.
