When you talk about the pros, candidates can appear for JEE Main 2019 to get an idea about the exam and their year won’t be wasted if they could not crack JEE Main this time. They still have a chance to appear in April session. However, the downside is that since students will be appearing for Class 12^th Board exams, their boards exam preparation is being affected by this”.
