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. Justices Huluvadi G. Ramesh and M. Dhandapani passed the interim order after observing that the order passed by the single judge was unwarranted when the petitioner L. Lakshmi Shree of Chennai had already got a mechanical engineering seat in IIT Kanpur.

Examinees will be able to appear for JEE Main in January and April of every year and for NEET in February and May for the academic sessions beginning in August of that year.

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...
