If any student is found indulged in any wrongful means, the test gets automatically canceled. In case of interruption in test due to power or hardware/software failure, candidates are generally provided alternative timing for the exam.
Around 10 lakh students would be appearing in the remaining two sessions of the JEE Main, which is a huge number. The problem is, every JEE candidate might not be having a computer. Moreover, a good internet connection is something not available in every part of the country, specially in the rural areas, thus making the remote proctored test a difficult alternative for JEE Main.
