JEE Main 2023: Set JEE Main dates considering CBSE boards, say aspirants
Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2026 ( JEE Main )
Registration - 31 Oct '25 - 27 Nov '25
JEE Main 2023: Students say if JEE Main first session is held in April, they will be able to focus on both CBSE and engineering entrance exam.
JEE Main 2023 is likely to be held in two sessions. If one appears in both sessions, the best out of the two scores will be considered for ranking.
Though Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2023 exam dates have not been announced so far, there are reports that JEE Main 2023 session 1 is likely to be held in January and session 2 in April 2023. This has left hundreds of students in a fix because if the first session is held in January, it will clash with CBSE board practicals. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 and Class 12 theory exams will begin in mid-February and practical exams will be held in January-February.
Shiksha.com talked to a few students who are appearing in JEE Main 2023 to know their preference for JEE Main 2023 exam schedule. Here’s what they have to say.
- ‘Hold JEE Main 2023 in April’
- ‘JEE Main should not clash with CBSE practicals’
- No issue with JEE Main in January
- ‘Hope JEE Main exam dates are set in April’
- NTA to soon publish the JEE Main 2023 notification
‘Hold JEE Main 2023 in April’
Abhimanyu Goyal, a JEE Main aspirant, said, “CBSE has already announced that Class 12 practicals will start in January and board exams will start from February 15, 2023. Both Class 12 board exams and JEE Main are important for our future. It would be good if JEE Main first session is held in April and not in January. With this, we will be able to focus on both exams.”

‘JEE Main should not clash with CBSE practicals’
Echoing similar concerns, Sanya Gupta, who is taking coaching for the engineering entrance exam from a private institute in Panchkula, said, “There are only two JEE Main sessions next year. If we miss the first, the second will be our only chance of making it. I want that JEE Main 2023 first session should be conducted in April as we have our CBSE practical exams in January. Moreover, JEE Main 2023 in January will not give us enough time for revision.”
