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. According to the petition, when Deglukar appeared for the exams in April, the computer assigned to him had a malfunction, he called the in-charge who summoned the technical staff, who, after examining the computer, asked Deglukar to continue with the online test. When he finally submitted his answer sheet, it displayed that he had appeared for 85 questions and left 5 blank. However, when the response sheet was received, it showed that Deglukar only attempted 55 questions.
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.
