In order to be eligible for admission through JEE, NTA has mandated that students must score a minimum of 75 percent in their Class 12 board examinations or rank in the top 20 percentile of their respective education boards. Through this plea, the petitioner has requested NTA to remove the 75 per cent eligibility criteria.

The addition of the top 20th percentile criteria was made after students made representations to the Union Education Ministry. However, many students are now objecting to the addition of Class 12th marks as eligibility criteria, claiming it to be unjustified.
