'Centre Must Relax Eligibility Criteria For JEE Main, Advanced 2023': Congress MP Karti Chidambaram

The Centre should relax the eligibility criteria for students appearing for the JEE Main and Advanced exams in 2023. In a letter to the Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, MP Karti P Chidambaram mentioned that due to technical glitches in both JEE Main, Advanced exams last year, several candidates experienced discrepancies in their response sheet as well as errors in result. 

Apart from technical glitches, several students could not appear



for the exam as their exam centre got changed at the last moment without prior intimation via SMS or mail. "A significant number of students who fell prey to these difficulties in JEE Main or JEE Advanced were availing their last attempt at these exams this year. For students who graduated Class 12 in 2020, it was their last attempt at both JEE Main, Advanced this year, and for those that graduated in 2021, it was their last attempt at JEE Advanced this year," it read.
