JEE Main 2021 will be conducted in the computer-based mode for phases 3 and 4.
As the COVID situation in the country is rapidly normalizing, Education Minister has announced the JEE Main 2021 phase 3 and 4 exam dates. JEE Main 2021 April exam will be held from July 20 to 25 while May exam will be held from July 27 to August 2. The question here arises, “Is there a chance of JEE Main 2021 shifting to home-based remote proctored exam”. However, the authority has scheduled to conduct in computer-based mode.

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.
