Corona positive student’s dilemma 

JEE aspirant Kuldeep Upadhyay who cleared JEE Main and now tested Covid-19 positive was denied entry into Eon centre, Dewas Naka, for attempting JEE Advanced 2020. The student was asymptomatic, wore a PPE kit and had permission from the collector to attempt the exam in an isolation room.

Coming from a humble background, the student was selected in the ‘economically weaker section’ (EWS) category. 

The hardworking student hails from Raigarh and has been preparing for JEE for the last three years in Indore. He even had to take a loan to pay the coaching fee.

Coordinating on his behalf, a student in Indore had spoken to collector Manish Singh, who spoke to the observer from IIT Kanpur as well. Sadly, the student could not get in for the examination and might have lost his last chance at studying in IITs.
