Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Calcutta High Court's decision that had allowed Soutrik Sarangi's writ petition regarding his admission to the JEE Advanced examination. The court found that the rejection of his candidature was justified based on the established eligibility criteria. Consequently, the IIT was directed to adhere to its admission policies and procedures without exception.
