In its hearing, the HC stated that the exam information brochure has a mechanism for lodging complaints and their redressal and the candidates allowed to make a grievance to the organizing chairman.

However, the students claimed that the organizers are yet to decide on their complaints. To this, the HC added that it is the best it can do.

Notably, the plea was filed by Taneshq Gorrakkh Zendey, Aryan Gupta, and 12 others, who allegedly faced technical issues while giving the exam, including issues with the zoom key. Thus they were not able to finish the paper on time.

In their reply to the plea, senior advocate Kevic Setalvad and advocate Sneha Prabhu, representing the chairman of JEE Advanced, said they had received only 25 complaints on September 2 and 3 from the 1.6 lakh students who took the exam, adding that there was no illegality in the organizing agency’s part.

Earlier, several students had taken to Twitter seeking an extra attempt for JE Mains 2022 due to issues faced by them as a result of technical glitches on the organiser’s part.

Here’s what students said:

I had faced many technical glitches during JEE advanced 2022 paper. The questions in the paper were very much zoomed in and it took a lot of time in scrolling up and down. #jeeadvance2022 #JEEAspirantsFutureMatters @AshishAroraPG @iitbombay @iitdelhi @iitdaa @narendramodi
