During the last hearing on April 6, the high court placed the hearing on hold and called on both the Ministry of Education and the National Testing Agency (NTA) to explain why the criteria are significant. The court had asked NTA to submit an intervention application and affidavit for the same.

It may be recalled that the criteria were removed during the COVID year but this year, it was introduced once again. Students have been asking for relaxation for the same.
