Petitions filed by three aggrieved candidates -- Anurag Jha, Chandni Tomar, and Rajesh Rai -- through their lawyer Rahul Sharma said that the organising chairman of the JEE (Advanced), 2018 at IIT Kanpur issued "clarifications regarding answers of numerical-answer-type questions" (which is section II of each of two papers) on May 21, 2018, a day after the conduction of examination.Through the clarification, the instruction was "substantially altered" compared to the instructions provided to the candidates 20 minutes before the examination, the petition said.

"The amended instructions brought in a concept of 'a range of correct answers' as against original provision for 'correct answers truncated/rounded off to two places of decimals'," the petition said.Subsequently, the answer key uploaded by the IIT Kanpur on May 29 "was in accordance with the amended instructions for evaluating the answers", it said."By issuing the impugned clarification, the respondent has raised doubts about the fairness of the admission process," it said, adding that the results as per new instructions may seriously alter the all-India ranking of the candidate petitioners.

The petition held that the clarification issued a day after the conduct of examination is "arbitrary and in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution," and sought from the high court to quash and set aside clarifications and the answer key.It also sought the court's direction to declare the results of the JEE (Advanced) examination, 2018, "as per the evaluation done in consonance of the instructions contained in the question papers".

Admission to IITs are conducted in two stages. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) first conducts Joint Entrance Examination (Mains).
