"Not Equipped To Probe JEE Main 2025 Discrepancies": Forensic Science Lab To Delhi HC

The Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) informs the Delhi High Court that it is not equipped to probe into the discrepancies alleged in JEE Main 2025. The Court had referred the matter to CFSL and directed it to complete the probe expeditiously and give a report by May 22.

The Delhi High Court issued a notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA), seeking a probe into alleged discrepancies in the JEE Mains 2025 examination. The petitioner, who claimed systematic lapses and disparities in his marks, was directed to be allowed registration for JEE (Advanced).

The plea was filed by Shashank Shekhar Pandey, who urged the Delhi High Court to order an independent investigation into the conduct of the exam. In his petition, Pandey stated that he had attempted 46 questions, but the response sheet uploaded by the NTA reflected only 29 questions as attempted.

The counsel submitted that the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has also refused to conduct the probe on the pretext of authority to hold it.

Now the matter will fall under Delhi Police and the National Cyber Forensic Laboratory (NCFL) will conduct the probe, the counsel said. The counsel directs Delhi Police to pass order to NCFL, which comes under Ministry of Home Affairs.

The advocate of the petitioner suggested National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology also help.
