JEE Advanced 2023 Extra Attempt Issue to be Taken Up in Next JAB Meeting: IIT Guwahati

JEE Advanced 2023: The members of the All India Students Union (AISU) have not come to an end to submit presentations to all the members of the Joint Admissions Board (JAB), asking for an extra attempt in JEE Advanced 2023. A same case concerning the JEE Main exam is also unsettled in the Delhi High Court, with the next hearing scheduled for November 11.

JAB is the body that manages the JEE Advanced exam. It consists of all 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the CBSE, the Ministry of Education and other authorities. The JEE Advanced 2023 examination is being conducted by IIT Guwahati.

In an recent interview with EdexLive previous month, an official from the institution confessed that they had received about 25-30 representations from students requesting an extra attempt. However, he had added that IIT Guwahati would not be able to take the decision to grant one more chance alone and would be discussing the matter with the other concerned institutes.

When get in touch today, November 2, Mohan, an official from IIT Guwahati, said, “We are in the process of sending replies to all the submissions we received. Every student who approached us will receive a reply by the end of this week.” He decline to comment further on the matter, beginning that he was not the right authority to do so.

Navneet Singh, National General Secretary of AISU, who received a reply yesterday, November 1, from the institute said, “There is no update. The reply states that our representations will be considered at the next JAB meeting and only then a decision can be taken. But it does not say when the meeting will take place.”

“The Organising Institute is not empowered to decide these criteria on its own. Your representation, along with other applicants’ representations, will therefore, be considered by JAB at its next meeting. The eligibility conditions will reflect the decision of the JAB and shall be published in the JEE (Advanced) 2023 Information Brochure in due course,” a part of the reply from IIT Guwahati, as shared by Navneet, reads.

Navneet also said that AISU members are now in the process of drafting fresh representations to the CBSE, the Ministry of Education and some other JAB members, and would be forwarding them out soon. “Earlier, we had sent a two-page representation highlighting the students’ concerns as to why they want a second attempt. Now we will brief the matter further,” he added to the statement.
