Bombay High Court Refused To Order Relaxation Of Minimum 75% 12th Board Score Eligibility Criterion For IIT/NIT Admissions
The Bombay High Court today refused to order relaxation of minimum 75 percent 12th standard board score eligibility criterion for admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs/GFTIs through JEE Mains and JEE Advance examinations.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice SV Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep V Marne dismissed a PIL seeking relaxation of the eligibility criteria. "We cannot consider at this stage...It is for the government to decide", the court said.
In response to the court’s query regarding the purpose of the eligibility criteria, last week NTA filed an affidavit stating that the eligibility criteria of minimum 75 percent in boards for admission to NITs, IIITs, CFTIs/GFTIs is a sound, well considered policy decision.
The petition contended that many candidates are from batches that were not assessed on the basis of performance in the previous years as the board exams were cancelled due to COVID pandemic. According to the petition, there are students with less than 75% marks but could perform well in JEE Mains and if fair chance is denied to them, it will affect the future of lakhs for bright students.
The petition stated that the NTA notification came at the end of the academic year. The eligibility criteria should not be changed suddenly as the students have been preparing with the expectation that it will be the same as that of last year, according to the petition.
