NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with the authorities' decision not to hold a re-examination of JEE (Advanced) for the candidates who could not attempt the entrance test due to their COVID-19 positive status.
Coronavirus: High Court Dismisses Plea For JEE Re-exam For Left Out Candidates

Justice Jayant Nath said it is a settled legal position that normally, it would be wise and safe for the courts to leave the decisions of academic matters to experts who are more familiar with the problems they face than the courts generally.

The high court dismissed a petition by an IIT aspirant, who had obtained a rank in the top 96,187 general category candidates in the JEE (Mains) examination held in September this year but could not sit for the JEE (Advanced) examination on September 27 as he tested COVID-19 positive on September 22.

The results were declared on October 5.
