Will JEE Main 2021 Phase 3 and 4 be conducted in remote proctored mode?
Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2026 ( JEE Main )
Exam On - 2 Apr '26 - 8 Apr '26
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.
JEE Main 2021 Exam Dates Announced
The NTA has announced new dates for the phase 3 and 4. According to the official notification, JEE Main application submission and correction window has also been reopened.
The final decision has been taken on July 6 regarding JEE Main 2021 exam dates by the Education Minister.

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.
