Another Student Claims JEE Main Result Changed, Moves Delhi HC Against NTA
News 18Another Joint Entrance Examination Main candidate has moved a petition in the Delhi High Court alleging that her engineering entrance exam result was changed after being announced. The petitioner claimed that she scored 99.92 in session 1 and 99.89 in session 2, thus her overall tally is well above the qualifying mark of 88.41 for the general category, however, when she attempted to apply for JEE Advanced, her application was not accepted, with the disclaimer message “invalid application number” flashing on the online portal, reported The New Indian Express. “The petitioner is being wrongly precluded from applying for the JEE examination, despite having secured more than the cut-off score, due to a technical glitch,” said the petitioner’s lawyer, Kaustubh Shukla. Alleging that the website later changed the petitioner’s application number, Shukla added that the original application ID can be substantiated by the admit card and score card issued in the petitioner’s name.
