The Odisha Private Engineering College Association (OPECA) has requested Chief Minister of Odisha to ask the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) to deter the last day of registration for JEE Mains exam 2017 by 20 days or so.
The reason for this request comes after the CBSE made Aadhar Card mandatory for registration for 2017 JEE exams. OPECA Secretary Binod Dash stressed on the fact that in Odisha, many people still have not applied for their Aadhar Cards and following this ruling by CBSE; students were in a fix in terms of procuring their Aadhar Cards within the designated time.
