Two much trouble for twins as NTA withholds their admit card

These students have received an email from the National Testing Agency (NTA) asking them to clarify their identity.

There are many twins like Siddhi and Riddhi whose JEE Main 2023 admit cards have been withheld for no fault of theirs.

The candidature of such aspirants has been kept on hold and their applications are being scrutinized.”  

These students have received an email from the National Testing Agency (NTA) asking them to clarify their identity. The email reads, “This refers to your application for JEE Main exam Session 1-2023. It is observed that your particular(s)/photograph have appeared in more than one application form.” 

It further read, “NTA is in the process of scrutinising such duplicate applications. Your admit card is therefore not being released for now. You may be allowed to enter the exam venue only after NTA is convinced about your bonafide credentials. In case you have any explanation for your particulars/photograph appearing in more than one application forms, please revert immediately. NTA will decide your case on its own merit.” 

“On scrutiny of your credentials/data, you will be issued an admit card for this session only. However, your exam is going to be held on 24 or 25 January 2023,” it added.
