JEE Advanced 2025

JEE Advanced 2025 : On January 10, the Supreme Court reviewed a petition regarding the adjustment of the number of attempts for JEE Advanced 2025. The court ruled that students who withdrew from college between November 5 and November 18, 2024, are permitted to attempt JEE Advanced three times, according to the original notification from the Joint Entrance Board. This petition was submitted by 22 students.

On November 5, the Joint Entrance Board declared that students graduating in 2023, 2024, and 2025 could take the exam. However, 13 days later, the eligibility was limited to only the 2024 and 2025 batches. Upon reviewing the petition, Justices BR Gavai and AG Masih noted that some students had left their courses believing they would qualify to take the exam, and now they should not face discrimination by being denied this opportunity.

The petitioners stated that they completed their class 12th exams in 2023 and had already enrolled in engineering colleges, but began preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 when the number of attempts was raised from two to three. On Friday, the Supreme Court instructed the Joint Admission Board (JAB) to permit students who withdraw from their course between November 5 and November 18, 2024, to register for JEE Advanced 2025.

JEE Advanced 2025: 22 students had filed a petition

In the previous month, 22 students submitted a petition to the Supreme Court contesting the decrease in the number of attempts allowed. The petitioners stated that they completed their class 12th exams in 2023 and had already enrolled in engineering colleges. However, they began preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 when the number of attempts was increased from two to three.

This preparation involved paying the JEE Main 2025 application form fee, coaching class fees, and spending money on test series, study materials/books, and other preparatory courses. A new petition, filed by advocate Sanjit Kumar Trivedi, stated that the JAB responsible for conducting the JEE-Advanced exam had arbitrarily altered the eligibility criteria for students.
