The Bombay High Court refused to postpone the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) JEE Mains exam on 10th January which is scheduled to conduct in this month between 24 th to 31 st January, 2023.
The case listed before a two- Judge Bench of Chief Justice SV Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep Marne held that it would not be suitable to put off the ITT JEE Mains examination in response to a Public Interest litigation because if the date alters, it would disturb more than one lakh and fifty thousand of ITT aspirants.
This PIL was filed by Anubha Sahai who is the rights activist who wanted the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains to be postponed till March. The activist challenged the National Testing Agency’s (NTA) December 15 exam notification that scheduled JEE Mains exam between 24 th to 31 st January, 2023.

The petitioner said that the exam notice was declared at a very short notice. Let us inform you that earlier, the exam dates usually announced three or four months in advance, providing ample time to aspirants of IIT to prepare for the exam, and this is what Sahai was demanding to give students some time to prepare.
Although, the Bombay High Court, refused to grant any relief. The court said that if any orders are passed this time directing deferment of January exams, the same may have affect the upcoming exams also. The remarkable situation don’t appear to exist for preventing respondents from postponing January exam.
Lakhs of Aspirants must have been preparing for the exam, then there is no bar on appearing in April, however if a student is not satisfied with his marks, then he or she can give the exam again in April for improving the marks only, the Additional solicitor General Anil Singh said.
