Adv. Rui Rodriguez for NTA: There is a policy change that I want to bring on record.

He reads out that the candidates have to score more than 75% or be in top 20 percentile.

Bench: What is top 20 percentile? Is the data published by the boards?

Petitioner: It is the top 20% students in each board. Data about top 20 percentile was last published by the boards in 2019

Interim applications have also been filed seeking another attempt in May 2023.

Bench: This relaxation that you want to give, will it be meaningful?The top 20 percentile for Maharashtra is even higher than CBSE.

Bench to NTA: File an affidavit to this and the intervention application.
