JEE Main 2020: Trade unions urge HRD minister to postpone the January exam
Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2026 ( JEE Main )
Registration - 1 Feb '26 - 25 Feb '26
A united platform of 10 central trade unions wrote a letter to the HRD Minister to postpone the JEE Main January exam. Check the details below.
JEE Main 2020: Central trade unions have requested the Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank to change the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main scheduled on January 8 next year in view of their planned countrywide strike.
On September 30, 2019, alleging the Government of failing to respond to demands of workers, a united platform of 10 central trade unions (CTUs) had called for a countrywide general strike on January 8.
“Stating the likely dislocation of normal traffic as transport sector employees are also participating in the proposed strike, the students appearing in the examination on January 8 may face problems in commuting to their JEE Main exam centres,” wrote the CTU leaders to the minister.
"We request you to please intervene in the matter appropriately so that the exam on January 8 is deferred to some other date to ensure that the examinees do not face any problem," they said.
The national-level Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is scheduled to be conducted on January 6-11 for admission to undergraduate engineering (BTech) and architecture (BArch) courses. NTA conducts the exam for admission to aforesaid courses in IIITs (Indian Institute of Information Technology), NITs (National Institute of Technology) and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) across the country. JEE Main also acts as a gateway for admission to IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology)
This year the exam will be conducted in 233 cities across India and 8 cities abroad. In 2019, the exam was conducted at the 264 cities across the country.
