Advocate Rui Rodrigues who appeared for the National Testing Agency (NTA) said that the requirement of 75% marks was for admission to IITs and not for appearing in JEE Main and any student with lesser marks could also appear for the exam.

In the last hearing, Advocate Joseph Thate told the HC bench that JEE Main is a crucial exam for students and they only have six attempts. Thate further said that the timing of the exams would clash with the HSC prelims and viva voce and therefore it should be postponed to April 2023.

However, the main focus was on the eligibility criteria of 75% marks in HSC exams. Thate said that the 75% marks criteria was not there last year. Since many candidates appearing for JEE Main this year are from batches that were assessed for board exams based on alternative methods due to COVID-19 pandemic, many scored below 75% marks but could perform well in JEE Mains. The petition stated that if the criteria were not set aside, it would affect the future of many students.
