The students claimed that because of the technical glitches, they should have been given extra time to attempt the questions. (Representational/File)JEE Advanced 2022: The Bombay High Court (HC) on Thursday directed the organising agency of the JEE (Advanced) — conducted by IIT Bombay this year for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) — to consider within two days the grievances of students who have petitioned the court with complaints that they faced technical glitches while attempting the test on August 28.
The students had sought additional exams and a stay on declaration of results scheduled on September 11. However, the HC said that while it was concerned about their grievances and also the interest of a large number of students who took the test, “this is the best it can do”.
Justice Sanjay V Gangapurwala and Justice R N Laddha were hearing a plea filed by Taneshq Gorrakkh Zendey, Aryan Gupta and 12 others, who have alleged that they faced problems while answering questions in the exam held on August 28 over two shifts.
Advocates S S Kulkarni, Pranjal M Khatavkar and Nitin V Gaware, appearing for the students, said that there were several technical glitches in the computer-based test (CBT), including issues with the zoom key, resulting in loss of time and failure to attempt all questions. The petitioners said they had complained after the first session of the exam to ensure that the same is rectified in the second shift, however, the problem persisted.
Kulkarni told HC that for most of the time, the students were busy with the mouse to adjust the screen and view the questions. “In fact, the CBT system had collapsed. The grievance was raised with the respective invigilator, however, no one paid heed,” he added.
