JEE Advanced 2023: Aspirants now write to NTA seeking extra attempt

Students have raised their concerns on Twitter with the hashtag #JEEAdv2023For2021Passouts. The syllabus for the JEE Advanced 2023 has been revised. Candidates can check the details on the official website at jeeadv.ac.in

A JEE aspirant on behalf of all those seeking an additional attempt at the exam has submitted a representation to the exam-conducting body, National Testing Agency (NTA), and Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi. Last year, the NTA conducted the JEE Main 2021 four times due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aspirants want that there have been several disruptions this year too and they should also be given an extra attempt. They have been running Twitter campaigns, sending representations to the organising team of the exam and have also written to Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan highlighting their concerns. They have also raised their concerns on Twitter with the hashtag #JEEAdv2023For2021Passouts. 

All India Student’s Union, a student body, tweeted, "Representation has been submitted by @rajmaraiya6 (JEE aspirant) on behalf of all JEE aspirants to @DG_NTA & @IITBHU_Varanasi.  It's our kind request to the authorities to consider JEE Aspirants genuine concerns. #JEEAdv2023For2021Passouts"."

JEE Advanced aspirants who passed Class XII in 2020 and 2021 have been seeking an additional attempt at the exam. Students are allowed only two consecutive attempts, one in the year they pass their Class XII and the other right after. Students want that the eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced 2023 should be reconsidered so that they get an extra attempt. 

All 23 IITs admit students to engineering courses based on their JEE Advanced scores. For JEE Advanced 2022, an additional attempt was announced for students who were eligible to take the exam in 2020 and 2021 but could not do so. Amid pandemic, this was applicable to students of the Class XII 2020 batch, who could not take the exam even once. The students are questioning if a similar relaxation was made in 2022 for the 2020 students so why don’t the 2021 Class 12 pass-out batch deserve an additional attempt? 

JEE Advanced 2023 syllabus revised

The syllabus for the JEE Advanced 2023 has been revised. The new syllabus for the 2023 exam for all three subjects, physics, chemistry and math, has been made available on the official website at jeeadv.ac.in. The advanced syllabus has been aligned with JEE Main and CBSE.
