The petition was filed on Monday by activist Anubha Srivastava Sahai. Several students started flooding Twitter with requests to postpone JEE Mains 2023 and to remove 75% criterion for droppers.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the JEE Main exam dates 2023 on December 15. The engineering entrance exam will be held in two phases in January and April. Soon after the announcement of exam dates, students started demanding for JEE Main 2023 postponement stating shortage of time for preparation.
The eligibility of 75% in Class 12 or the qualifying exams to appear in JEE 2023 will hit lakhs of students who can score very high in the JEE mains examination but may not have 75% minimum marks in their board examinations, the PIL said.
The NTA removed the JEE Main 75% criteria last year as an one-time measure due to academic loss during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PIL further stated that the pre-board exams, viva voce of CBSE, ICSE and other state boards are scheduled in January. The clash between JEE Main 2023 and pre-board exams will result in less number of students appearing for JEE Main January 2023 session, it said.
The petition also stated that the NTA in the past used to declare the IIT JEE Main 2023 exam dates two to three months prior to the examination. However, the announcement of exams in such short notice will not give enough time for preparation.
