JEE Advanced 2023: Students’ union seeks extra attempt for 2021 aspirants

Members of the All India Student’s Union (AISU) have written a letter to the IIT Guwahati Director requesting him to reconsider the eligibility criteria for Class 12 board students of 2021 so that they can get an extra third attempt for JEE Advanced 2023. 

The All India Student’s Union (AISU) has written a letter to Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati on behalf of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced aspirants who did not appear for the exam twice.  

The letter that has been shared by the union on Twitter says as per the eligibility criteria of JEE Advanced 2023, Class 12 board graduates of 2021 are not eligible to appear for the exam as per criterion 3 and 4. Members of the union have requested the IIT Guwahati Director to reconsider the eligibility criteria so that students can get an extra third attempt for JEE Advanced 2023. 

The Joint Admissions Board (JAB) allowed students who were eligible to appear for JEE Advanced in 2020 or 2021 but could not appear for the same to take the exam again in 2022. The relaxation was offered to candidates due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
