Delhi highcourt decided to start barring those IIT aspirants to appear in JEE who have already cleared the IIT JEE and also deposited the admission fees.
  Justice Hima Kohli upheld the decision of IIT authorities to refuse admit card toPrateek Rohila, who have cleared the IIT JEE 2011 Exam but withdrew his admission afetr submitting his registration fees in IIT Madras. Beacause he want to reappear in IIT JEE 2012 Examination which is scheduled on 8, April 2012.      High Court agreed with the argument of IIT authorities that such attempts by candidates, who once qualify in IIT-JEE and later seek to withdraw the seat allocated to them, resulted in immense financial strain on theinstitute. “In this attempt, the institute would have to keep a seat vacant not just in the first year but right through the course that may extendup tofive years asin the presentcase,” the court said.
    “Apart from this, the course is extremely presti
gious and every seat is precious andcannotbe permitted to be wasted in such a manner,” it said, refusing to accept Rohilla’s petition.
    Rohilla moved the court againsttheIITdecision after it informed him that he cannot reappear for IIT-JEE 2012 exam as last year he withdrew his admission after paying the registration fee. In 2011, Rohilla after qualifying in the IITJEE under the scheduled castes category got admission in engineering design (automotive engineering), a fiveyear M-Tech dual degree course at IIT-Madras.

    By making an online payment, Rohilla deposited Rs 20,000 towards non-refundable registration fees and confirmed the admission but did not turnup at IIT-Madrasto attend classes. Later, he again applied for the 2012 IIT entrance test under the general category. On his application IIT-Delhi, organizing the test, informedhim thathis application stood cancelled as he was ineligible.
