Berhampur: It has been observed by the students that the application form of the most premier examination in the country for the engineering and medical courses - the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) has a grave error which needs rectification.

"It is impossible to put the year 2010 in the tenth column of the form where we are supposed to shade the year of our qualifying examination. In the third row of the column there are only 0, 8 and 9 numerals printed thus, making it impossible for us to mark 2010, for which we need the numeral 1 which is not there." said a student.

The students and their parents could not contact the JEE authorities regarding clarification as Friday, Saturday and Sunday are holidays.
