On December 15, NTA had released JEE Main 2021 February notification on December 15 at jeemain.nta.nic.in. However, later in the evening, the authority had removed the information brochure and the notification related to the application form. The official notification stated that the JEE Main 2021 exam dates would be conducted on February 22 to 25 in online mode. The JEE Main 2021 application form was scheduled to release on December 15, 2020 and close on January 15, 2021.

Earlier, Dr Pokhriyal conducted a live interaction session where he addressed all the queries/doubts related to JEE Main 2021 exam. He stated that the Ministry is considering the decision to conduct JEE Main four times a year starting from February end, then March, April and May. He answered queries on JEE Main syllabus and also a clash of JEE Main exam dates 2021 with board practicals.

It is expected that all candidates appearing for JEE-Main 2021 will need to attempt 75 questions out of 90 or 25 out of questions 30 in each section of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Earlier, students have no choice of attempting questions. The change in the question paper format is being introduced likely to accommodate school boards that have reduced class 11 and 12 syllabi and those that have not.

Sorry, but even under the SC category, securing a seat in an NIT with a JEE Main CRL rank of 632000 is not possible.

The rank needed for admission to the BTech course would depend on the course, round and branch you are applying for. For the General HS category, the Round 2 cutoff was 770798 for the BTech CSE course. So, this category students need a rank of at least 770798 to be considered eligible for admission.

Yes, several colleges convert a good JEE Main percentile directly into a fee waiver. Graphic Era's GECET-linked scholarships and UPES's merit scholarships can cut your fees by up to 50%. This makes originally expensive private colleges much more affordable for high scorers, so it's worth applying ev

No, JEE Main is not required to get admission in BTech at Rajalakshmi Engineering College. Admissions under the government quota rely primarily on Class 12 marks through TNEA counseling. However, JEE Main scores may be considered for admission.

Yes, most Coimbatore colleges, including PSG Tech, Karunya, and Kumaraguru, primarily admit students through TNEA counselling, which is based on Class 12 merit rather than JEE Main. JEE Main is mainly relevant if you're targeting government institutes like NITs. So a strong Class 12 score alone can

No, I don't think you can get into B.Tech EEE at Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad with JEE Main rank of 5,30,000 as General, non-UP domicile candidate. Typically, closing rank for EEE close much earlier around 3,00,00.

Absolutely. Unlike government colleges with very tight cutoffs, most private engineering colleges in UP admit students across a wide score range, and several also accept students without a JEE Main score at all.

No, JEE Main is not mandatory for BTech admission to SVSU Meerut. While JEE Main scores are accepted for BTech application, students can qualify directly through the university's SNET examination or Class 12 merit.

No, JEE Main has not been mentioned as an accepted entrance exam for BTech at GLA University.

Candidates who want to apply for BTech at this institute must appear in their own entrance exam called GLAET. 

Admissions are based solely on scores obtained in this exam along with performance in PI rounds.
