What Bombay HC Said?
After hearing the matter, the Bombay HC bench decided that postponing the exam would have a cascading effect on the students and by pushing the exam to April, students would then have a problem in preparing for the second session in May.
According to the petition in the Bombay High Court, the students asked for the JEE Main 2023 Session 1 to be postponed due to the clash with the Board Exams 2023 time table and CBSE Practical Exams.
The students also claimed that compared to the previous announcements for the JEE Main Exams, NTA has released the JEE Main 2023 on extremely short notice, giving candidates only one month-time to prepare.
As per the schedule released by the NTA, the first session of the Joint Entrance Exam, JEE Main 2023 has been scheduled from January 24 to 31, 2023.
In the court, the plea further claimed that the 75 percent criteria is unfair to those students who dropped out in order to prepare better for the JEE Main Exam.
“The marks scored by students is not a true reflection of their actual ability therefore those students with less marks than the eligibility criteria (75%) for this year’s examinations can score very high marks in the upcoming JEE Main 2023, and if a fair chance is denied to them that will affect the future (of) lakhs of bright (students),” stated the petition.
