JEE Main Result 2024: Delhi HC Rejects Plea Challenging Normalisation

New Delhi: The Delhi Highcourt has rejected the plea against the procedure of normalisation score on the basis of percentile followed by NTA for the JEE Main Result 2024.

The petition was submitted by Setu Vinit Goneka. The bench of justice C Hari Shankar said, “The very fact that an examination such as the IIT JEE, which governs entrance to IITs, NITs and other centrally funded technical institutions, may be subject matter of a court proceeding, is itself a serious issue.”

“The fact that the petitioner has sought to challenge the marking process despite having at all times being fully aware thereof, after having attempted the examination and after the marks have been declared, even otherwise, on merits, I am not of the view that the challenge deserves to be entertained,” the court said.

According to the court, the petitioner had full information about the normalisation process followed for result calculation but had yet decided to take the JEE Main 2024 exam. “The entire challenge of the petitioner appears to be somewhat nebulous,” it added.

“It is a well-settled position, in administrative law, that a candidate cannot, in awareness of the system of conducting an examination and the marking process adopted in that regard, challenge the examination or the manner in which it is conducted, after the result are declared,” the court said in the order.

The court also added that the process of normalisation, on percentile basis, is a detailed statistical process. The advocate appearing for the National Testing Agency (NTA) mentioned that the procedure and a formula, which is adopted worldwide, and was used by the NTA on the basis of the recommendation of a high-powered committee in November 2018, which was subsequently reviewed in October 2020.

“Needless to say, this procedure applies across the country to every student who undertakes the IIT JEE examinations,” the court added.
