Bombay High Court To Hear PIL Asking To Drop 75% Eligibility For JEE Mains

Mumbai, 1st March 2023: On April 6, 2023, the Bombay High Court will hear a petition asking that the 75% requirement for class 12th grades that determines eligibility for the IIT-JEE mains examination be relaxed.

In a PIL, a petitioner asked the NTA to drop the eligibility requirement of 75% because the marks scored by them are not a true reflection of their actual ability therefore those students with fewer marks than the eligibility criteria (75%) for this year’s exams 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.

Earlier The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) brought back the requirement of 75 percent marks in the Class 12th board exams for admission to NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs in the 2023 JEE brochure.

A tweet from the bar and bench (Portal providing news from Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, Bombay High Court) stated, “Bombay High Court will hear the plea seeking relaxation of the 75% score in the higher secondary examination, the eligibility criterion for IIT JEE mains examination, on April 6, 2023.”
