The National Testing Agency had recently rescheduled the JEE Main 2022 exam dates for the first session due to a clash with several state boards exams of class 12. JEE Main April exams which were earlier scheduled to be held from April 16 to 21 will now be conducted on 21, 24, 25, 29 April and 1, 4 May 2022.
