SC Directs IIT-B To Admit Student Who Missed Seat Accidentally

The Supreme Court has directed IIT Bombay to offer Siddhant Batra interim enrolment to the course after he unintentionally missed his seat by clicking an incorrect link. The 18-year-old had scored AIR 270 at JEE Advanced and asked to reconsider his mistake on 'humanitarian grounds'. He had approached the apex court, after the Bombay High Court dismissed his plea, citing that the HC cannot intervene once admission processes have begun.
