Several aspirants of Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Advanced have written to the Joint Admission Board (JAB) requesting a third attempt to write the IIT entrance. As per the rules, students are allowed two attempts at JEE Advanced, which also includes the year they have cleared the class 12 exam in. Some students claim that many could not appear for the exam in 2020, the year they have cleared 12th exams, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, hence, they have lost one attempt and are now demanding an extra one.

The students have requested JAB to change the exam rules for this year in light of the pandemic. They pointed that due to lack of access to online classes, proper guidance several students, especially those from rural areas have been affected. They also claimed that the pandemic led to mental health issues and hence they couldn’t clearly focus on JEE Advanced and have demanded a third attempt at the exams.

Rular background students got effected mostly and they should be given their right, a one more fair chance for 3rd attempt.#JEEadvanced3rdAttempt#JEEadvanceExtraAtmp— sagar sharma (@sagarsh90958459) November 18, 2021
