Why Are JEE Aspirants from Tamil Nadu in a spot?

This decision has been taken after NTA received a few representations from the candidates of Tamil Nadu State Board who have passed their Class 10 examination in the year 2021. Due to the COVID outbreak, no examinations were conducted for the 2021 batch of Class 10. As per the news agency IANS report, it is to be noted that around 40,000 students appear for JEE from Tamil Nadu and the students who have taken the Tamil Nadu state board exams for the 10th standard don’t have any marks for the tenth exam which is a mandatory criterion for applying in JEE.

With no marks to show in their 10th-class examination, several students from Tamil Nadu were facing a tough situation while applying for Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). The students don’t have 10th marks to produce as they were all passed by the Tamil Nadu Board due to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-21.
