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. But, the new exam dates of JEE Main are in clash with several other engineering entrance exams including the popular ones like SRMJEEE and MET 2022. Also, the ISC class 12 board exam of English is in a clash with the new JEE Main 2022 exam date.
