The issues faced by the students include:

- Many students could login but the server showed error
- The screen of the online exam froze

Students claimed that despite their system specification being as per NTA’s instructions and internet speed being stable, they faced issues.

Students have sent the pictures of their online exam screen showing error to NTA, and are now expecting a re-exam for NCHMCT JEE 2021.
However, Shiksha also got in touch with many students who could complete the exam without any problems. Harshit Jain, one of the candidates who appeared for the exam said “many students who faced the issue with the exam, might have a poor internet connection. Also, they might have reported late for the exam. The login time was 12:30. So those who might have reported late, have faced server error.”

NCHMCT JEE 2021 v/s Last Year
Until last year NCHMCT JEE was held in CBT mode. However, this year NTA took the exam in online proctored mode, given the pandemic situation. The exam was overall moderate in difficulty level this year. Last year too the students found the paper moderate. However, some students felt the exam was slightly easier as compared to last year. Also like last year, this year too many students said that the Numerical Ability and Analytical Aptitude was difficult.
Most students could complete the exam on time in the last year. However, this year the online mode of the exam gave many students a hard time. Some could not login on time, some faced server errors and thus could not complete the paper on time.
