NEW DELHI: Delhi high court has directed a CBI probe supported by forensic exam into alleged manipulation of JEE (Mains) 2025 scorecards, after two candidates claimed discrepancies in their results.
Justice Vikas Mahajan ordered during a hearing on May 14 that the case be referred to Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) and CBI. “Both parties are ad idem that to find out the truth... it is imperative to refer the matter to experts,” the court said. Next hearing is scheduled for May 23.
Candidates must provide registered email IDs to court registry for CFSL verification. CFSL director has been requested to expedite the inquiry and submit findings in sealed cover by May 22, considering urgency as JEE (Advanced) 2025 results will be declared on June 2.
Court barred CFSL from disclosing any findings during probe, calling such information potentially sensitive.
Petitioners alleged original scorecards from first session of exam, initially available on National Testing Agency (NTA) website, had been replaced with altered versions showing incorrect scores.
One petitioner said the original percentile made him eligible for JEE (Advanced), and requested relief. CFSL may contact petitioners for assistance or information, court said.
According to NTA, no human interference occurs and entire process is managed by National Informatics Centre.
Justice Mahajan allowed one candidate to register for JEE (Advanced), directing that application be processed, though deadline had passed on May 2.
