Two days gap between JEE Main 2021 April and May – How it could benefit students

• Students who would appear for the session 3 exam, which will end on July 25, will be in continuation with their studies. It will help students as they will not have to study again for the next (May) attempt again.

• Students already had enough of time for both the exams due to postponement of JEE Main 2021 session 3 and 4 exams from April to July. There’s a little chance that giving additional 15 days time will help students to study and perform well in the last phase.

• Less gap between the exams would help students prepare for the exam in a fast paced manner
