Karti P Chidambaram twitted, "The Education Minister dpradhanbjp, EduMinOfIndia has responded to my letter requesting immediate relaxation in the eligibility criteria for #JEE2023. I hope the Govt will look into the requests and concerns of aggrieved students".
Dharmendra Pradhan in the letter stated, “Thank you for your letter dated 2nd December, 2022 and 15th December 2022, regarding one-time exemption to relax the eligibility criteria for all students appearing for the JEE Main and advanced exams in 2023.

Earlier in December 2022, Karti P Chidambaram urged the Union Education Minister to intervene and relax the eligibility criteria for students appearing in the JEE Main and JEE Advanced 2023 as a one-time measure. The Congress MP demanded relaxation for candidates who had their last attempt in the 2022 exam.
