JEE Main 2023: Students write to Education Minister once again seeking postponement of exam

All India Students Union (AISU) submitted the letter, which also mentioned removal of the 75 per cent eligibility criteria, to the Education Minister on December 20.

 

The All India Students Union (AISU) has once again written to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, urging him to reschedule the JEE Main 2023 exam. In the letter, the students have asked for the postponement of JEE Main 2023 and removal of the 75 per cent eligibility criteria. The letter was submitted on December 20. 

The letter from the AISU comes at a time when the National Testing Agency (NTA) announced that the first session of the JEE Main 2023 exam will be held between January 24 and January 31, 2023.  

In the letter the students have mentioned that since the JEE counselling lasted till the end of October this year, they could not get enough time to study for the January exam. They also stated that the NTA released the exam circular too late, when only a month is left for it. The JEE aspirants also stated that the Bihar Board exams and the CBSE practical exams are scheduled to be held from February 1 and this will make it difficult for the students to manage their studies. Thus, the students demand that the first session be rescheduled to April.  

The letter further read, “Considering JEE Main 2023 Session-I in last week of Jan 2023, JEE Advanced 2023 would most probably be conducted in May 2023. But if NTA accepts the aspirants' demand and reschedules the Session-I to April 2023, JEE Advanced 2023 could be conducted in June 2023. So there's a difference of just one month between the decision of the NTA and students' demand.”
