A student who appeared for the JEE (Main) last month,
claims that due to a technical glitch in the computer assigned
to him, 35 questions were shown to have been left blank in the
results, instead of only 5 questions, as per his claim. He has
moved the Bombay High Court, seeking direction to the CBSE
board to allow him to appear for the JEE (Advance) Engineering
exams, scheduled next week.
The vacation bench of the court has asked the CBSE board to
carry out a forensic test on the computer that was assigned to
Rigved Deglukar, during his entrance exams, to examine his
claim. Also, a reply to his petition has to be filed by May 18.
He immediately wrote to the authorities highlighting the fault
in the system, but to no avail. Thus he moved the court, also
seeking directions to CBSE to allow him to appear for the JEE
(Advanced), Engineering stream, by accepting his application,
along with late fees.
The plea adds that the technical staff, by not following the
proper procedure, has committed serious lapses causing great
loss to him. By not replacing the computer after his complaint
, the board has violated provisions of article 14, 19 (1) (g)
and 21 of the Constitution of India. Thus, his right to
appear for JEE (Advanced), should be protected.
