Due to the pandemic since last year, many students who could not appear for the JEE Main had requested for some relaxation. Many had reached out to the Education Minister, NTA, IIT Delhi Director (conducting authority of JEE Advanced 2020) and other authorities for an additional attempt. The answers to all those questions are now expected to be shared by Pokjriyal tomorrow.
Currently, a candidate is allowed only two attempts at the JEE Advanced, however, those in their final year or second attempt who could not take the exam in 2020 will be given a relaxation.
While Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is conducted for admission to engineering colleges across the country, JEE Advanced is conducted for admission to 23 IITs in the country. To appear for JEE Advanced, it is mandatory to clear JEE Main.
Of the 2.5 lakh students who were eligible to appear for JEE Advanced last year, only 1.5 lakh had taken the exam. Over 43,000 candidates, including 6,707 girls, have cleared the exam.
