Supreme Court refuses to entertain plea by JEE-Main candidates

New Delhi, September 15

The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain petitions filed by certain students qualifying JEE-Main, 2021, in third attempt who sought an extra attempt to appear for JEE-Advanced Exam scheduled on October 3.

A Bench led by Justice AM Khanwilkar asked the petitioners to make a representation before the authorities concerned for attending JEE-Advanced 2021

“If there is some way forward, you may consider it,” the Bench told the counsel for the JEE authority. The SC said the authority should consider deciding the representation before the closing date of registration for JEE-Advanced exam.

Rules permit a candidate to appear for JEE-Advanced in two attempts in two consecutive years within two years of completion of Class XII if he/she is within top 2,50,000 candidates in the JEE -Main Exam. — TNS
