A Division Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday stayed an order passed by a single judge of the court on July 5 directing IIT Kanpur to redo the rank list released after the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2018.

This year, 12 lakh youngsters sat for the annual JEE Main for admission to engineering institutions.

The exams will be conducted by the newly formed National Testing Agency (NTA), which will take care of the variation in difficulty levels in the two tests in each cou
