Bombay High Court to Hear 75% JEE Main 2023 Eligibility Criteria Plea on Apr 13

JEE Main 2023 Eligibility Criteria: The Bombay High Court will hear the plea on 75% of JEE Main eligibility criteria 2023 on Apr 13.

The JEE Main 2023 eligibility criteria case will be heard by a bench comprising Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Sandeep V Marne.

The main reason to register for PIL is to remove or lower the 75% eligibility criteria to 50% in this year's JEE Main exam.

The PIL stated, “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 examinations 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).”  

Previously, the Bombay High Court last heard the matter regarding the JEE Main 75 per cent criteria on April 6 and asked the government to submit some documents regarding the 75% JEE Main 2023 eligibility criteria since when it is applicable and the top 20 percentile how it's going to help if different states have different top 20 percentile.  

JEE Main 2023 aspirants filed the PIL because of the JEE Main 2023 information brochure released by the National Testing Agency (NTA), which stated that, apart from the All-India rank of the candidate in the national entrance test for engineering admissions, the JEE Main aspirants are required to score 75% and above in Class 12 or figured among the top 20 percentile candidates of the respective board in order to become eligible for admission.

For Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates, the qualifying aggregate score was declared 65 per cent and above.
