New Delhi: Thousands of aspiring engineers are petitioning the Indian government to allow a third attempt at the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Advanced entrance test. Currently, students are only permitted two attempts over consecutive years, with the first attempt taken in the year they graduate from Class 12 and the second in the following year.
The top-performing 2.5 lakh students from JEE-Main, a national examination for engineering admissions, are allowed to sit for JEE-Advanced. The petition, signed by over 12,000 aspirants, argues that raising the number of attempts to three or spreading them over three consecutive years would ensure fair participation and equal opportunity.
The current policy restricts students to only two consecutive attempts, despite JEE-Main allowing three attempts within the same admission system. The petition contends that this inconsistency denies many capable and hardworking students a fair chance to showcase their true potential.
